Pearl of Wisdom

'A good favour done to a fellow believer is not considered complete until accompanied by three things: underestimation of the act, concealing it, and hastening its completion. He who underestimates his good turn to a fellow believer has esteemed his brother highly indeed, whereas he who esteems his good turn to be great has deemed his brother to be insignificant. He who conceals the good turn that he has done has honoured his action, and he who hastens to fulfil his promise takes pleasure in the gift too.'

Imam Musa ibn Jafar al-Kadhim [as]
Tuhaf al-'Uqul, p. 403

Question : #724 Category: Ahl ul Bayt / Imams
Subject: proper ediqueete
Question: Salaam Alaikum,

I wish to speak to the Infalliables (AS) to act as my intercessor. In doing so, how do I convey my utmost respect to them when asking for this special favour? Lastly, can I make a promise to them in exchange for their intercession? If so, what would you consider based only on your opinion to be a noble exchange for such a favour bestowed upon me?

Many thanks,

Arif
Answer: Alaykum Salaam,

A sincere supplication will surely be accepted by Allah, and in your instance, I recommend Al-Sahifat al-Sajjadiyya (The Psalms of Islam) for the best of supplications for your niyats
