7. Through the same chain of narrators as the previous Hadith, it is narrated from abu Isma’il al-Sarraj from ibn Muskan from Sharahbil al-Kindiy who has said the following: “Abu la’ far (a.s.), has said that if you want to ask your Lord for something, take Wudu’ properly, perform two Rak‘at Salah (prayer), speak of the greatness of Allah. Say, ‘Allahumma Salli ‘Ala Muhammad wa ‘Ali Muhammad (O Allah grant Muhammad and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Your cause). 5 After Salam say, ‘O Allah, I appeal before You, You are the Owner and the King and have power over all things. You are dominant and whatever You want it comes into existence. O Allah I turn to You through Your prophet, Muhammad, the prophet of mercy. O Muhammad, O Messenger of Allah, I turn to you before Allah, Your Cherisher and my Cherisher so that He makes my wish to come true. O Allah, through Your prophet, Muhammad, make my wish come true. 5 Then ask for your needs.”
