ENGLISH TRANSLATION

28. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Mahziyar who has said the following: “Muhammad ibn Ibrahim wrote to abu al-Hassan عليه السلام , ‘My master, if you deem it proper, teach me a prayer that I can read after every Salah (prayer) so Allah will grant me good, both in this and the next life.’ The Imam wrote to him, ’Say, O Lord, I seek refuge with Your gracious presence, Your unassailable majesty and Your unstoppable power, against the evil of this world as well as those in the next life and against the misfortune of all illnesses.” (The following chapters are best explained by fatwa.)
