The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 1942 (#Ḥadīth #21)

21ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَنَانٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَوْرَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِذَا كَانَ لَكَ يَا سَمَاعَةُ إِلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَاجَةٌ فَقُلِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلِيٍّ فَإِنَّ لَهُمَا عِنْدَكَ شَأْناً مِنَ الشَّأْنِ وَقَدْراً مِنَ الْقَدْرِ فَبِحَقِّ ذَلِكَ الشَّأْنِ وَبِحَقِّ ذَلِكَ الْقَدْرِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمْ يَبْقَ مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَلا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ وَلا مُؤْمِنٌ مُمْتَحَنٌ إِلا وَهُوَ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.

21. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from certain individuals of his people from Ibrahim ibn Hanan from Ali ibn Sawrah from Sama’a who said: “Abu al-Hassan said to me: 'O Sama’a, whenever you have a request before Allah, the Most Majestic and Most Holy, say this: ‘O Allah, I ask you by the right of Muhammad and Ali, for they have a special status and a high rank with You, and a decree from Your decree. So by the right of that status and by the right of that decree, I ask You to send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and to do such and such for me. For on the Day of Resurrection, there will not be a close angel, nor a sent prophet, nor a tested believer, except that they will be in need of them both on that day.’”
