- 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.

يَا مَنْ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ أَنْبَاءُ الْمُتَظَلّمِينَ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا يَحْتَاجُ فِي قَصَصِهِمْ إِلَى شَهَادَاتِ الشّاهِدِينَ. وَ يَا مَنْ قَرُبَتْ نُصْرَتُهُ مِنَ الْمَظْلُومِينَ وَ يَا مَنْ بَعُدَ عَوْنُهُ عَنِ الظّالِمِينَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ، يَا إِلَهِي، مَا نَالَنِي مِنْ فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ مِمّا حَظَرْتَ وَ انْتَهَكَهُ مِنّي مِمّا حَجَزْتَ عَلَيْهِ، بَطَراً فِي نِعْمَتِكَ عِنْدَهُ، وَ اغْتِرَاراً بِنَكِيرِكَ عَلَيْهِ. اللّهُمّ فَصَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِهِ، وَ خُذْ ظَالِمِي وَ عَدُوّي عَنْ ظُلْمِي بِقُوّتِكَ، وَ افْلُلْ حَدّهُ عَنّي بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَ اجْعَلْ لَهُ شُغْلًا فِيمَا يَلِيهِ، وَ عَجْزاً عَمّا يُنَاوِيهِ اللّهُمّ وَ صَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِهِ، وَ لَا تُسَوّغْ لَهُ ظُلْمِي، وَ أَحْسِنْ عَلَيْهِ عَوْنِي، وَ اعْصِمْنِي مِنْ مِثْلِ أَفْعَالِهِ، وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي فِي مِثْلِ حَالِهِ اللّهُمّ صَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَعْدِنِي عَلَيْهِ عَدْوَى حَاضِرَةً، تَكُونُ مِنْ غَيْظِي بِهِ شِفَاءً، وَ مِنْ حَنَقِي عَلَيْهِ وَفَاءً. اللّهُمّ صَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِهِ، وَ عَوّضْنِي مِنْ ظُلْمِهِ لِي عَفْوَكَ، وَ أَبْدِلْنِي بِسُوءِ صَنِيعِهِ بِي رَحْمَتَكَ، فَكُلّ مَكْرُوهٍ جَلَلٌ دُونَ سَخَطِكَ، وَ كُلّ مَرْزِئَةٍ سَوَاءٌ مَعَ مَوْجِدَتِكَ. اللّهُمّ فَكَمَا كَرّهْتَ إِلَيّ أَنْ أُظْلَمَ فَقِنِي مِنْ أَنْ أَظْلِمَ. اللّهُمّ لَا أَشْكُو إِلَى أَحَدٍ سِوَاكَ، وَ لَا أَسْتَعِينُ بِحَاكِمٍ غَيْرِكَ، حَاشَاكَ، فَصَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِهِ، وَ صِلْ دُعَائِي بِالْإِجَابَةِ، وَ اقْرِنْ شِكَايَتِي بِالتّغْيِيرِ. اللّهُمّ لَا تَفْتِنّي بِالْقُنُوطِ مِنْ إِنْصَافِكَ، وَ لَا تَفْتِنْهُ بِالْأَمْنِ مِنْ إِنْكَارِكَ، فَيُصِرّ عَلَى ظُلْمِي، وَ يُحَاضِرَنِي بِحَقّي، وَ عَرّفْهُ عَمّا قَلِيلٍ مَا أَوْعَدْتَ الظّالِمِينَ، وَ عَرّفْنِي مَا وَعَدْتَ مِنْ إِجَابَةِ الْمُضْطَرّينَ. اللّهُمّ صَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِهِ، وَ وَفّقْنِي لِقَبُولِ مَا قَضَيْتَ لِي وَ عَلَيّ وَ رَضّنِي بِمَا أَخَذْتَ لِي وَ مِنّي، وَ اهْدِنِي لِلّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ، وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِمَا هُوَ أَسْلَمُ. اللّهُمّ وَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْخِيَرَةُ لِي عِنْدَكَ فِي تَأْخِيرِ الْأَخْذِ لِي وَ تَرْكِ الِانْتِقَامِ مِمّنْ ظَلَمَنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ الْفَصْلِ وَ مَجْمَعِ الْخَصْمِ فَصَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِهِ، وَ أَيّدْنِي مِنْكَ بِنِيّةٍ صَادِقَةٍ وَ صَبْرٍ دَائِمٍ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ سُوءِ الرّغْبَةِ وَ هَلَعِ أَهْلِ الْحِرْصِ، وَ صَوّرْ فِي قَلْبِي مِثَالَ مَا ادّخَرْتَ لِي مِنْ ثَوَابِكَ، وَ أَعْدَدْتَ لِخَصْمِي مِنْ جَزَائِكَ وَ عِقَابِكَ، وَ اجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ سَبَباً لِقَنَاعَتِي بِمَإ؛ قَضَيْتَ، وَ ثِقَتِي بِمَا تَخَيّرْت آمِينَ رَبّ الْعَالَمِينَ، إِنّكَ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى كُلّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
O He from whom is not concealed news of the aggrieved! O He who has no need to be told about them by the witnessing of the witnesses! O He who whose help is near to the wronged! O He whose aid is far from the wrongdoers! Thou knowest, my God, how so-and-so, son of so-and-so, has harmed me in that which Thou hast forbidden, and how he has violated me in that which Thou hast prohibited, showing thereby ingratitude toward Thy favor upon him and delusion concerning what Thou hast denied him.
O God,
so bless Muhammad and his Household, keep my wrongdoing enemy from wronging me through Thy strength, blunt his blade toward me through Thy power, and assign to him a diversion in that which is close to him and the inability to reach his enemy!
O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household, let the wrongdoer not find it easy to wrong me, give me good help against him, preserve me from the like of his acts, and place me not in the like of his situation!
O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household, and assist me with an immediate assistance that will heal my rage toward him and redeem my fury toward him!
O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household, compensate me for his wronging me with Thy pardon and replace his evil action toward me with Thy mercy, for every detested thing less than Thy anger is slight and every disaster next to Thy rancour indifferent!
O God,
just as Thou hast made me detest being wronged, so also protect me from doing wrong!
O God,
I complain to no one but Thee, and I seek help from no ruler other than Thee - how could I? So bless Muhammad and his Household, join my supplication to response, and unite my complaint with change!
O God,
tempt me not with despair of Thy just treatment and tempt him not with feeling secure from Thy disapproval, lest he persist in wronging me and constrain me in my rights. Let him soon recognize what Thou hast promised the wrongdoers" and let me recognize Thy promised response to the distressed!
O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household, give me success in accepting Thy decrees for me and against me, make me pleased with what Thou takest for me and from me, guide me to that which is most upright and employ me in that which is safest!
O God,
if the best for me with Thee lies in delaying the taking to task for my sake of him who has wronged me and in refraining from vengeance toward him until the Day of Decision and the Gathering of Disputants, then bless Muhammad and his Household, strengthen me from Thee with true intention and lasting patience, give me refuge from evil desire and the impatience of the greedy, and form in my heart the image of Thy reward which Thou hast stored away for me and the repayment and punishment which Thou has prepared for my disputant! Make this a cause of my contentment with what Thou hast decreed and my trust in what Thou hast chosen! Amen, Lord of the worlds! Thou art of bounty abounding and Thou art powerful over everything.
