19. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Husayn who has said the following: “Once I asked abu al-Hassan  to instruct me with a supplication while I was behind him. The Imam said, ‘O Lord, I plead before You, through Your magnanimous face, Your great name, Your majesty beyond reach, through Your power beyond control, to facilitate for me such and such.’ The narrator has said that the Imam wrote for me a note in his own handwriting, ‘O the One Who is High, thus, has subdued (all things), the unseen Who has knowledge (of all things), O the One who owns (all things), thus, has measured (all things), O the One who gives life to the dead and has power over all things, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, and provide me such and such needs.” Then the Imam said, ‘O the One beside whom no one deserves to be worshipped, grant me favors. ’ He wrote for me in another note instructing me to say, ‘O Lord, defend me by Your means and power. O Lord, I plead before You this day, this month, in this year for Your blessings and if any trouble, misfortune or punishment that may take place therein, keep them away from me and my children by Your means and power; You have power over all things. O Lord, I seek protection with You against the loss of bounties, change in good health, sudden misfortune, and the evil of the past record of deeds. O Lord, I seek protection with You against the evil of my soul, the evil of every walking creature that You control by their forehead You have power over all things. Allah’s knowledge encompasses all things and has enumerated all things.’”
