26ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ إِدْرِيسَ أَخِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ صَلاَتِكَ فَقُلِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَدِينُكَ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَوَلاَيَتِكَ وَوَلاَيَةِ رَسُولِكَ وَوَلاَيَةِ الأئِمَّةِ (عَلَيْهِم الْسَّلام) مِنْ أَوَّلِهِمْ إِلَى آخِرِهِمْ وَتُسَمِّيهِمْ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَدِينُكَ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَوَلاَيَتِهِمْ وَالرِّضَا بِمَا فَضَّلْتَهُمْ بِهِ غَيْرَ مُتَكَبِّرٍ وَلاَ مُسْتَكْبِرٍ عَلَى مَعْنَى مَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ عَلَى حُدُودِ مَا أَتَانَا فِيهِ وَمَا لَمْ يَأْتِنَا مُؤْمِنٌ مُقِرٌّ مُسَلِّمٌ بِذَلِكَ رَاضٍ بِمَا رَضِيتَ بِهِ يَا رَبِّ أُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَكَ وَالدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ مَرْهُوباً وَمَرْغُوباً إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ فَأَحْيِنِي مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَأَمِتْنِي إِذَا أَمَتَّنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَابْعَثْنِي إِذَا بَعَثْتَنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنِّي تَقْصِيرٌ فِيمَا مَضَى فَإِنِّي أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ وَأَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَعْصِمَنِي مِنْ مَعَاصِيكَ وَلاَ تَكِلَنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي لاَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَلاَ أَكْثَرَ إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لأَمَّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ إِلاَّ مَا رَحِمْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَعْصِمَنِي بِطَاعَتِكَ حَتَّى تَتَوَفَّانِي عَلَيْهَا وَأَنْتَ عَنِّي رَاضٍ وَأَنْ تَخْتِمَ لِي بِالسَّعَادَةِ وَلاَ تُحَوِّلَنِي عَنْهَا أَبَداً وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِكَ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
26. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ‘Abd al-Malik al-Qummiy from Idris his brother who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام , say, ‘When you complete your Salah (prayer) say this. “O Lord, I follow Your religion in obedience to You under Your guardianship, the guardianship of Your messenger and the guardianship of ’A’immah, the first to the last Imam. . .” You should mention the name of each Imam. Then say, “O Lord, I follow Your religion in obedience to You and under their guardianship. I am happy for the excellence that You have granted them without being arrogant or assuming arrogance against what You have revealed in Your book in the form of that which is reached to us as well as what is not reached us. I believe, affirm and submit to such facts. I am happy with that with which You are happy, O Lord. I seek thereby Your happiness and the eternal living in the next life. I am fearful and I desire to be ( acceptable) before You. Give me life as long as You will with this (belief), cause me to die with it (belief) when You cause me to die and raise me when You raise me with it (belief). If I may have had shortcomings in the past, I repent before You and I desire to come before You for the bounties You own. I plead before You to protect me against disobedience to You and do not leave me to myself for a blinking of an eye as long as You keep me living, no less or more than such time. The soul motivates toward evil, except those whom You through Your mercy protect, 0 Most Merciful, Most Beneficent. I plead before You to protect me with (my) obedience to You until I die with it (belief in and obedience to You) when You are happy with me and make my life end up with salvation. Please do not ever turn me away from it (salvation); there is no power without You.”’”
