,,And it is custom (Sunnah) to add to it such as what Abu Basir narrated from Imam Ja’far (a.): ๏ดพIn the name of God and with God. Praise and all the best names be to God. I testify that there is no God except God alone, Who has no associate, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. He sent him with the truth as a proclaimer and warner before the Hour and I bear witness that my Lord is the best Lord and that Muhammad is the best Messenger and that Ali is the best Authorized One and the best Imam. God, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and hear his intercession for his nation and raise his level. Praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds.๏ดฟ” [Fiqh-ul-Majlisi, page 29]
