12ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الشَّامِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ بِالشَّامِ يُقَالُ لَهُ هِلْقَامُ بْنُ أَبِي هِلْقَامٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً جَامِعاً لِلدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَأَوْجِزْ فَقَالَ قُلْ فِي دُبُرِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ سُبْحَانَ الله الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ الله وَأَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ قَالَ هِلْقَامُ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ مِنْ أَسْوَإِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي حَالاً فَمَا عَلِمْتُ حَتَّى أَتَانِي مِيرَاثٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَجُلٍ مَا ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ قَرَابَةً وَإِنِّي الْيَوْمَ لَمِنْ أَيْسَرِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَمَا ذَلِكَ إِلا بِمَا عَلَّمَنِي مَوْلايَ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام).

12. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from m Mahziyar who has that narrated to h Imams abu la’ far al-Shami saying that narrated to him a man in al- Sham (Damascus) called Hilqamu ibn abu Hilqamu who said the following: “Once I went in the presence of abu Ibrahim . I said, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, instruct me with a supplication of universal form for this world and hereafter but very short one.’ The Imam said, ‘After the morning-prayer until sunrise say, “Glory belongs to Allah, the Great and I praise Him. I plead before Allah for forgiveness and I beg of His generosity. ’ “Hilqamu has said, ‘I (financially) was the worst off person in my family. I received an inheritance from a man whom I did not think was related to me and I had no knowledge, but today I am the most comfortable person among my people and this is only because of what my master, the virtuous servant (of Allah) instructed me with.’”
