Chapter on the Recommended Prayers

Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibn Mahbub from al-Hasan ibn Salih who said: I heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, say: “Whoever performs ablution and perfects the ablution, and then prays two rak‘ahs, completing their bowing and prostration, then sits and praises Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, and sends blessings upon the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, and then asks Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, for his need; Then indeed he has sought goodness in its proper place. And whoever seeks goodness in its proper place will not be disappointed.”
