‘Abu Muhammad Al-Askari-asws said: ‘For the generousity there is a measurement, one increases upon it, it would be extravagance; and for the determination there is a measurement, if one increases upon it, it would be cowardice; and for the moderation there is a measurement, if one increases upon it, it would be stinginess, and for the bravery there is a measurement, if one increases upon it, it would be recklessness’.

He-asws said: ‘When you reach the Sacred House, place your hand upon a wall of the House, then say, ‘O Oneazwj Preceding to the lost, and O Hearer of the voice, and O Coater of the bones (with flesh) like what is after the death’. Then supplicate after it with whatever you so desire to’. Sufyan said to him-asws, ‘(It is) something I don’t understand’. He-asws said: ‘O Sufyan! ’ – or (said): ‘O servant of Allah-azwj!

Al-Muafa said, ‘It is narrated to me from Abu Ja’far Al-Tabari that this supplication was mentioned to him from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, so he called for ink and paper and wrote it, and it was an hour before his death. It was said to him in this state. He said, ‘It is befitting for the human being that he does not leave attaining the knowledge until he dies’’. [174]
