Ali ibn Hatim from Ali ibn al-Husayn from Ahmad ibn Abi Abdillah from his father from Ibn al-Mughirah from Imam al-Ridha عليه السلام, peace be upon him: Imam al-Ridha عليه السلام said: “O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and his family عليه السلام among the first, And send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and his family عليه السلام among the last, And send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and his family عليه السلام in the highest assembly, And send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and his family عليه السلام among the prophets and the messengers. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, grant (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, the means, the honor, the excellence, and the great rank. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I have believed in (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, peace be upon him and his family, though I have not seen him, so do not deprive me on the Day of Resurrection of seeing him. Grant me his companionship, cause me to die upon his religion, and give me to drink from his pool a satisfying drink after which I shall never thirst again. Indeed, You عز وجل have power over all things. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, just as I have believed in (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, though I have not seen him, so make me recognize his face in Paradise. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, convey from me to the soul of (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم many greetings and peace.” (Imam عليه السلام then continued) “Then supplicate with whatever occurs to you. Then prostrate and say in your prostration: ‘O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You عز وجل, O’ Hearer of every sound, O’ Creator of souls after death, O’ He عز وجل whom darkness does not veil, whose hearing is not confused by voices, whose understanding is not mistaken by needs. O’ He عز وجل who forgets nothing because of something else, and whom nothing distracts from anything, Grant (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم your blessings, upon him and upon them, The best of what they have asked You عز وجل, The best of what they sought from You عز وجل, The best of what You عز وجل have been asked for on their behalf, The best of what I have asked You عز وجل for them, And the best of what You عز وجل are asked for them until the Day of Resurrection.”
