Narrated by the Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Sa'd ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ja'far, from al-Hasan ibn Hammad, from Muhammad ibn Marwan, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: “While performing the ghusl for Friday, you should say: "O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, purify my heart from every defect that corrupts my religion and nullifies my deeds." And while performing the ghusl for janabah, you should say: "O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, purify my heart, purify my deeds, accept my efforts, and make what is with You better for me." In another narration, it is mentioned: Imam عليه السلام said: "O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, make me among those who repent often, and make me among those who purify themselves."
