He said, ‘It is narrated to me by my father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar, and it is narrated to us by Abu Al Hassan Ali Bin Ahmad Al Tusi, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Razy, from Muhammad Ismail, from Abdullah Bin Usman, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Najran, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said, ‘I, and Is’haq Bin Ammar, and Dawood Bin Kaseer Al-Raqqy, and Dawood Bin Aheyl, and Sayf Al-Tammar, and Al-Moalla Bin Khuneys, and Humran Bin Ayn were in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws when a man called Ismail Bin Qays Al-Mowsily entered, and we were talking and Al-Sadiq-asws was performing Sajdah. When he-asws raised his-asws head, he-asws looked at him and said: ‘What is this sorrow and sadness? ’
He said, ‘O my Master-asws, may I be sacrificed for you-asws! It is so, and you-asws are right! My exhaustion is extensive and my chest is constricted! ’
He-asws said: ‘Where are you from the Salat of Needs? ’
He said, ‘And how should I pray it? May I be sacrificed for you-asws! ’
He-asws said: ‘When it will be the day of Thursday after the morning, bathe and go to your Prayer mat and pray four Cycles Salat, reciting in each Cycle Surah Al Fatiha, and Surah Al Qadr ten times.
