ENGLISH TRANSLATION

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from abu al- Mighra’ from al-Fudayl ibn Yasar from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “The prayer closest to acceptance and the fastest to be heard is a man’s prayer for a brother (in belief) in his absence.”
