He said, ‘I woke up and I was certain of the comfort and the relief, and there still remained upon the vast night. I stood up and rushed and wrote what he-asws had taught me fearing that I might forget it, then I purified and went out beneath the sky and prayed two Cycles Salat. I read in the first after Surah Al Hamd, like what was shown to me, Surah Al Fat’h, and in the second after Al Hamd, Surah Al Nasr, and I made good their Salat. When I had performed Salaam, I stood up and I was facing the Qiblah, and I recited Ziyarat, then supplicated for my need, and I cried out for help to my Master-ajfj, Master-ajfj of the Time, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-ajfj. Then I did Sajdah, the Sajdah of thanks, and I prolonged the supplication in it until I feared missing the night Salat. Then I stood and prayed Salat, and followed up after Al-Fajr Salat with the morning Salat and sat in my prayer niche supplicating. By Allah-azwj! The sun had not emerged until the relief came to me from what I was in, and the like of that did not return to me the rest of my lifetime, and no one from the people knew what that matter was which had worried me up to this day of mine, and the Conferment is for Allah-azwj and for Him-azwj is a lot of Praise! ’’[29]
