1/8953 – Muhammad Ibn Ya’qub, from Ali Ibn Ibrahim, from his father and Ali Ibn Muhammad Al-Qasani together, from Qasim Ibn Muhammad, from Sulaiman Ibn Dawud Al-Minqari, from Hafs Ibn Ghayyath that Abu Abdillah (As-Sadiq) said: ,,If one of you wants that he should not ask his Lord for anything except that He should answer him, then he should give up hope in all the people and have no hope except in God. Now if God learns that from his heart, then he asks God for nothing except that He hears him.” So much for the saying (Hadith) and At-Tusi narrated it in Al-Amali as it is yet to follow about self-discipline.

2/8954 – Ahmad Ibn Fahd said in Uddat-ud-Da’i: It is transmitted that God revealed to Jesus (a.):,,Address to Me the supplication of the distressed drowning man who has no helper. O Jesus, ask Me and ask none but Me. Then the supplication is befitting from you and the answering from Me.” So much for the saying (hadith).

3/8955 – He said: ,,God revealed to Moses (a.): ,,O Moses, as long as you ask Me and hope in Me, I will forgive you despite your transgressions.” I say: ,,It will still be followed by that which points to it for beneficence and other things.” [Wasa’il-ush-Shi’ah, Volume 7, pages 142 – 143]
