4⃣عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّه قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِیُّ لَیْسَ شَیْءٌ أَسْرَعَ إِجَابَةً مِنْ دَعْوَةِ غَائِبٍ لِغَائِبٍ.

7⃣عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَعْیَنَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ فِی حَدِیثٍ قَالَ: عَلَیْکَ بِالدُّعَاءِ لِإِخْوَانِکَ بِظَهْرِ الْغَیْبِ فَإِنَّهُ یَهِیلُ الرِّزْقَ یَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثاً.

📚 Mustarafat al-Saraer, p. 144, Hadith 13

So, it is proper for you to engage in praying after the prayers. Then, he prayed for me and others who were present."

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 2, p. 508, Hadith 7

Thawr reported: I heard Imam Ali bin al-Husayn (a.s) say, "Surely, angels, when they hear a believer praying for his brother in his absence and mentioning him with good, say: 'How excellent a brother you are for remembering your brother while he is absent, praying for him and remembering him with goodness!' Although he is out of your sight, you pray for him and remember him with goodness. By the One who has honored us, the Lord of the Kaaba, you deserve twice as much of what you prayed for him and remembered him with goodness.'"

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر

📚 Kafi, Vol. 2, Page 507

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) mentioned regarding the statement of Allah Almighty in Surah Ash-Shura, verse 26: "And Allah is the One who responds to the call of those who believe and do good deeds. He increases for them out of His grace."

He said: The intended person is a believer who, in the absence of his brother, prays for him. So, an angel says 'Ameen' to his prayer, and the Almighty, the Powerful, declares, "Twice as much as you have requested for yourself will be granted to you." And, indeed, whatever he asked for will be given to him, due to his love for his brother.

6⃣1⃣عَنْ عَبْداللَّهِ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَی یَقُولُ الدَّاعِی لِأَخِیهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَیْبِ یُنَادَی مِنْ أَعْنَانِ السَّمَاءِ لَکَ بِکُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِائَةُ أَلْفٍ

📚 Rijal al-Kashi, Vol. 2, p. 852

Abdullah bin Jundab said: I heard Imam Musa bin Ja'far (a.s) say, "A person who prays for his believing brother in his absence will receive calls from all sides of the heavens saying: 'May it be a hundred times more for you!' Then, it will be said from the seventh heaven: 'Seven hundred thousand times more for you!' Allah will say, 'I am Allah, the Generous, the Bountiful, the one whose treasures do not end. A thousand thousand times more for you!'"

7⃣1⃣عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي حَدِيثٍ قال: مَنْ دَعَا لِأَخِيهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ نَادَاهُ مَلَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا يَا عَبْداللَّهِ لَكَ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ مِثْلِ مَا سَأَلْتَ وَ نَادَاهُ مَلَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الثَّانِيَةِ يَا عَبْداللَّهِ لَكَ مِائَتَا أَلْفِ مِثْلِ الَّذِي دَعَوْتَ وَ كَذَلِكَ يُنَادَى مِنْ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ تَضَاعَفَ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ فَيُنَادِيهِ مَلَكٌ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ لَكَ سَبْعُمِائَةِ أَلْفِ مِثْلِ الَّذِي دَعَوْتَ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يُنَادِيهِ اللَّهُ عَبْدِي أَنَا اللَّهُ الْوَاسِعُ الْكَرِيمُ الَّذِي لَا يَنْفَدُ خَزَائِنِي وَ لَا يَنْقُصُ رَحْمَتِي شَيْءٌ بَلْ وَسِعَتْ رَحْمَتِي كُلَّ شَيْءٍ لَكَ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ مِثْلِ الَّذِي دَعَوْتَ الْخَبَرَ

📚 Zaid al-Narsi, Page 45

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) stated in a hadith: "One who prays for his fellow believer in his absence, an angel from the heavens of the world will call out to him: 'O servant of Allah! A hundred thousand times what you requested shall be for you.'

And an angel from the second heaven will call: 'O servant of Allah! Two hundred thousand times what you prayed for shall be for you.'

Likewise, it will continue to multiply from every heaven until it reaches the seventh heaven, and an angel will call out: 'O servant of Allah! Seven hundred thousand times what you prayed for shall be for you.'

At that moment, Allah will call to him: 'O My servant! I am Allah, the Generous, the Expander, whose treasures never end, and My mercy encompasses everything. A thousand times a thousand times what you prayed for shall be for you.'"

8⃣1⃣عَن الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ أَخِیهِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: رَأَیْتُ أُمِّی فَاطِمَةَ قَامَتْ فِی مِحْرَابِهَا لَیْلَةَ جُمُعَتِهَا فَلَمْ تَزَلْ رَاکِعَةً سَاجِدَةً حَتَّی اتَّضَحَ عَمُودُ الصُّبْحِ وَ سَمِعْتُهَا تَدْعُو لِلْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ تُسَمِّیهِمْ وَ تُکْثِرُ الدُّعَاءَ لَهُمْ وَ لَا تَدْعُو لِنَفْسِهَا بِشَیْءٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا یَا أُمَّاهْ لِمَ لَا تَدْعُوِنَّ لِنَفْسِکِ کَمَا تَدْعُوِنَّ لِغَیْرِکِ فَقَالَتْ یَا بُنَیَّ الْجَارَ ثُمَّ الدَّار

📚 Al-Illal al-Sharai', page 181

Imam Mujtaba (peace be upon him) said: "I saw my mother Fatimah (peace be upon her) standing in her prayer niche on a Friday night, and she remained in bowing and prostration until the dawn prayer. I heard her praying for the believing men and women, mentioning them by name and making abundant supplications for them. Surprisingly, she did not pray anything for herself. I asked, 'O mother! Why don't you pray for yourself as you pray for others?' She replied, 'O my son! First, take care of your neighbor, then your family!'"

✅ These are some virtues of supplication for believers in their absence, which are worthy of attention. Especially the prayers for the leaders of the believers, so that the prayers for the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) may increase.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

And may Allah's blessings be upon Muhammad and his family

O followers and lovers of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them all), in your abundant and humble supplications for the hastening of the reappearance and the establishment of special prayer gatherings for the swift reappearance, do not underestimate the consequences and repercussions of falling short in praying for the hastening of the reappearance.

Let us join hands, organize prayer sessions for the hastening of the reappearance, and intensify individual prayers for the same goal, thereby lifting sorrows and concerns.

Do not fall short,

be vigilant,

and increase the quantity and quality of your prayers.

Praying for the hastening of the reappearance is the request of our Master, Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance).

It is enough to stop falling short.

The religion and world of the Shia community are exposed to great dangers.

Hasn't the time come to wake up?

Pray, humble yourselves, organize prayer gatherings, and significantly increase your prayers both in quantity and quality for the hastening of the reappearance.

Channel owners and virtual groups across all messaging platforms are strongly encouraged to continuously motivate and encourage their audience to pray for the hastening of the reappearance and organize prayer sessions for this purpose. Read supplications for the fulfillment of needs and obligatory prayers for the hastening of the reappearance.

Falling short carries a heavy penalty, and none of us can bear it.

What are we waiting for? When will we wake up?

How have we allowed a situation where in the streets, markets, party gatherings, schools, universities, and even Shia mosques, the most Shia-populated areas in the world, insults are hurled at Allah, His Messenger (a.s) and his family, and the Ahlul Bayt, peace be upon them, and we can do nothing but bear the burden of heartache?

I solemnly implore you, hope for, request, and insist that you strongly encourage yourself and everyone you can reach to engage in intense and humble prayers for the hastening of the reappearance. Persuade, compel, and maintain consistency so that those who went behind the veil of absence over a thousand years ago and requested the Shia to pray more for the hastening of the reappearance can come back. Let their exit be sanctioned by Allah Almighty, and may the spread of sin, oppression, corruption, and disrespect for religious laws be eradicated.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
