9ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُمَهِّدُ لأَبِي فِرَاشَهُ فَأَنْتَظِرُهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ فَإِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَنَامَ قُمْتُ إِلَى فِرَاشِي وَإِنَّهُ أَبْطَأَ عَلَيَّ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فِي طَلَبِهِ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا هَدَأَ النَّاسُ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ سَاجِدٌ وَلَيْسَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ غَيْرُهُ فَسَمِعْتُ حَنِينَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَكَ اللهمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي حَقّاً حَقّاً سَجَدْتُ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ تَعَبُّداً وَرِقّاً اللهمَّ إِنَّ عَمَلِي ضَعِيفٌ فَضَاعِفْهُ لِي اللهمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ.
9. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘I would prepare the bed for my father and wait for his coming until he would go to sleep; then I would leave to go to bed. One night he delayed and I went to the Masjid to search him. This was the time when people had already left and it was quite calm out there. I found him in the Masjid prostrating and there was no one in the Masjid except him. I heard his affectionate plea saying, “(O Lord,) You are free of all defects, You are my Lord, in all truth, there is no doubt. I have prostrated before You, my Lord as (Your) slave and a sole servant. O Lord, my deeds are weak, so please increase them for me. O Lord, save me from Your punishment on the Day when Your servants are resurrected and turn to me to accept my repentance. You accept repentance and grant mercy.’””
