- Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H&HF): Whenever one of you is needy and brings that to other people, he will not be satisfied. and Whenever someone is needy and brings that to Lord, he shall give him what he wants. sooner or later.
- Imam Sadiq (As.): Whenever you had tenderness in your heart, Pray. because your heart doesn't get tender unless it's pure.
- I told to Imam Baqir (A.S): “What is the meaning of “truly, Ibrahim was awwah and patient”? He replied: “Awwah means (the one who is) praying (to) and wailing (for God) a lot.””
- “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! How come has he a superior place in comparison to me while we acted alike? God the Almighty replies: “because he asked Me (whatever he needed) and you did not do that”.
- “The most knowledgeable person to God is the one who asks more from Him”
- “Whoever prays a lot, the angels say: This voice is familiar (to us) and this is the supplication which is accepted and this is the need which is provided”
-
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his Household):
-
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]
- Pray to God and believe in his answeres. But understand that God won't accept prays from an unwitting oblivious heart.

I bear witness that you performed the prayers,
defrayed the poor-rate,
enjoined the right,
forbade the wrong,
and obeyed Allah and His Messenger until death came upon you.
So, may Allah curse the people who slew you.
May Allah curse the people who persecuted you.
May Allah curse the people who were pleased when they had heard of that.
O my Master, O Abu-`Abdullah!
I bear witness that you were light in the sublime loins
and purified wombs;
the impurities of the Ignorance Era could not object you to filth
nor could it dress you its murky clothes.
I also bear witness that you are one of the mainstays of the religion
and the supports of the faithful believers.
I also bear witness that you are the God-fearing, pious,
pleased, immaculate,
guide, and well-guided Imam.
And (I bear witness) that the Imams from your progeny are the spokesmen of piety,
the signs of guidance,
the firmest handle (of Islam),
and the decisive Argument against the inhabitants of the world.
And I call Allah, His angels,
His Prophets, and His Messenger
to witness for me that I believe in you all and in your Return,
I have full confidence in the laws of my religion and in the seals of my deeds,
my heart is at peace with you all,
and all my affairs are based on your commands.
May Allah’s benedictions be on your souls,
your bodies, your forms,
the present and the absent from you,

and the apparent and the invisible from you.
My father and mother be sacrificed for you, O son of the Messenger of Allah!
My father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Aba `Abdullah!
Extremely terrible was the calamity
and astounding is the misfortune that you suffered upon us
and upon all the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth.
Therefore, Allah may curse the people who saddled up, gave rein to their horses,
and prepared themselves to kill you.
O my Master, O Aba `Abdullah!
I moved towards your sanctuary
and came to your shrine
beseeching Allah in the name of the standing that you enjoy with Him
and the position that you occupy with Him
to send blessings on Muhammad and on the Household of Muhammad
and to keep me with you in this world and in the Hereafter.
