Chapter on Supplication Between the Units of Prayer (Rak‘at)

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى اَلصَّنْعَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:« لَوْ قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ لَيْلَةَ ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ« إِنّٰا أَنْزَلْنٰاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ اَلْقَدْرِ» أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ لَأَ صْبَحَ وَ هُوَ شَدِيدُ اَلْيَقِينِ بِالاِعْتِرَافِ بِمَا يَخُصُّ بِهِ فِينَا وَ مَا ذَاكَ إِلاَّ لِشَيْءٍ عَايَنَهُ فِي نَوْمِهِ»
And it has been narrated from Abu Yahya al-San‘ani, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, that he said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “If a man were to recite on the night of the twenty-third of the Month of Ramadan ‘Indeed, We sent it down on the Night of Qadr’ (Surah Al Qadr) a thousand times, by morning he would be firm in certainty regarding the acknowledgment of that which pertains specifically to us (Ahlulbayt عليه السلام). And that would be only due to something he witnessed in his sleep.”
