Pearl of Wisdom
said to a man who wished to die, 'Is there a kinship between you and Allah as a result of which He will be partial to you in it [i.e. death]?' He said, 'No.' The Imam then asked, 'So, do you have good deeds that you have done that exceed your bad deeds?' He said, 'No.' The Imam said, 'Therefore, you are wishing for the ultimate ruin!'
Imam Musa ibn Jafar al-Kadhim [as] Kashf al-Ghamma, v. 3, p. 42

Dua' for Proposal of Marriage |
|
When a person intends to send a proposal for marriage, he must pray two rakat prayers, praise Allah and recite the following invocation:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم اَللّهُمَّ اِنِّى اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اَتَزَوَّجَ فَقَدِّرْ لِىْ مِنَ النِّسَّآءِ اَعَفَّهُنَّ فَرْجًا وَّ اَحْفَظَهُنَّ لِىْ فِىْ نَفْسِهَا وَ مَا لِىْ وَ اَوْسَعَهُنَّ لِىْ رِزْقًا وَ اَعْظَمَهُنَّ لِىْ بَرَكَةً فِىْ نَفْسِهَا وَ مَا لِىْ اَنَّىْ اَتْرُكُ فَقَدِّرْ لِىْ مِنْهَا وَ لَدًا طَيِّبًا تَجْعَلَهُ خَلَفًا صَالِحًا فِىْ حَيوتِىْ وَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِىْ.
Translation: In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful. O Allah! I intend to marry. Therefore destine for me the most chaste of women and one who would, for my sake, guard herself and my property. Who shall be most auspicious for increase in sustenance and bounties. Then from her womb bestow a pure son who would be my sweet reminiscence in my life and after my death.
