- “Two people, who have acted alike, enter the heaven, but one of them sees the other one in a higher place. Then, he says: O’ Lord!

وَ لَوْ عَرَفْتُمُ اللَّهَ حَقَّ مَعْرِفَتِهِ لَزَالَتِ الْجِبَالُ بِدُعَائِكُم
If you knew god the way you should’ve known, Mountains definitely will be moved by your supplications. - Crying out of fear of God is the key to his mercy, it’s a sign for his acceptance and it’s a door to answering [supplications]

Supplication For Pain And Suffering
It has been narrated from Imam Sadiq (A.S) that for every pain recite this prayer:
«بِسْمِ اللهِ وَ بِاللهِ، كَمْ مِنْ نِعْمَة لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي عِرْق سَاكِن وَ غَيْرِ سَاكِن عَلَى عَبْد شَاكِر وَ غَيْرِ شَاكِر».
In the name of Allah and with His help, many great blessings of God the Almighty and Glorious are there in the still and instill vein on a thankful servant and unthankful servant.
Then, hold your beard with your right hand and repeat this three times after the daily prayer:
«اللَّهُمَّ فَرِّجْ كَرْبِي وَ عَجِّلْ عَافِيَتِي وَ اكْشِفْ ضُرِّي».
“O’ Lord! Dispel all my suffering and hurry up in curing me and relieve me from my pains.”
And try to read this prayer in tears and cries.
Imam Baqir (A.S) said: whenever one of you becomes sick and you want to pray for him, then say:
أُخْرُجْ [أَخْرُجُ] عَلَيْكِ يَا عِرْقُ أَوْ يَا عَيْنَ الْجِنِّ أَوْ يَا عَيْنَ الاِْنْسِ أَوْ يَا وَجَعُ بِفُلاَنِ بْنِ فُلاَن ]نام بيمار و پدرش ذكر شود[ اُخْرُجْ بِاللهِ الَّذِي كَلَّمَ مُوسَى تَكْلِيماً وَ اتَّخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلاً صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَبِّ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ رُوحِ اللهِ وَ كَلِمَتِهِ وَ رَبّ مُحَمَّد وَ آلِ مُحَمَّد الْهُدَاةِ وَ طُفِيتِ كَمَا طُفِيَتْ نَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْخَلِيلِ(عليهالسلام)».
“O vein, or O the jinn’s eye, or O the human’s eye, or O the disease, leave this body for the sake of (say the name of the person and their father). Leave for the sake of Allah who has talked to Moses and chose Ibrahim (PBUH) as His friend; the Lord of Jesus, the son of Mary, the spirit of God and His word; and the Lord of Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, the guided, as the fire on Ibrahim (A.S) became cool and healthy, O’ pain, become calm.
