In al-Rawandi’s book of al-Da’awat, it is reported that Imam Zayn al-’Abidin (a.s.) passed by a man sitting at the doorstep of another man’s house. “What for are you sitting at the door of this lavish tyrant?” the Imam (a.s.) asked. “It is because of ordeal,” the man answered. “Stand up, “ the Imam (a.s.) said, “I will guide you to a door better than this tyrant’s door and to a Lord who is better than this man.” Hence, the Imam (a.s.) took the man from the hand to the Holy Prophet’s Mosque and taught him this prayer. Any prayer that is said in this situation will be definitely granted.
It is worth mentioning that Imam AliAmeer al-Momineen(a.s.) said, “If you need something to be settled, you may go for seeking it on early Thursdays and you may recite the last verses of SurahAl-’Imran, Ayah al-Kursi, Surah al-Qadr, and Surah al-Faatehah before you leave your house, because these holy verses and Surahs contribute to solving all the needs for this life and the life to come.”
