Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Isma’Il ibn Jabir from ‘Ubaydah al-Hadhdha’ who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a. s. ) has said, ‘Whoever says before dawn, “No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the kingdom and all praise, He gives life, causes death, causes death and gives life. He is living and does not die, in His hand is all good and He has power over all things, ” ten times and says, ‘O Lord, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, ’ ten times, and says, ‘Allah is free of all defects, ’ thirty-five times, ‘No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah, ’ thirty- five times, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, ’ thirty-five times, he will not be written that morning among the careless ones and if he says this in the evening, he will not be written of the careless ones in that night. ’”
