And from him, from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Nahawandi, from Abu ‘Asim Yusuf, from Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Daylami, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام and said: “May I be your ransom, your Shi‘a say that faith is ‘settled’ and ‘entrusted.’ Teach me something, that if I say it, I will have completed (perfected) faith.” Imam عليه السلام said: “Say after every obligatory prayer: ‘I am pleased with Allah سبحانه وتعالى as Lord عز وجل, with Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم as Prophet, with Islam as religion, with the Qur’an as Book, with the Ka‘bah as qiblah, and with Ali عليه السلام as guardian and Imam, and with al-Hasan عليه السلام and al-Husayn عليه السلام and the Imams عليه السلام, may Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى blessings be upon them. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I am pleased with them as Imams عليه السلام, so be pleased with me for their sake. Indeed, You سبحانه وتعالى have power over all things.’”
