Imam JaꜤfar al-Ṣādiq’s رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ عَلَیْہ Advice to His Son
The Imam said, “If Allah grants you a blessing and you want it to abide, express abundant gratitude to Him, as He announces:
لَئِنۡ شَکَرۡتُمۡ لَاَزِیۡدَنَّکُمۡ
If you are grateful, I will henceforth give you more.[1]
“If you feel your sustenance has been delayed, repent in abundance, as Allah has said:
فَقُلۡتُ اسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡا رَبَّکُمۡ ؕ اِنَّہٗ کَانَ غَفَّارًا (۱۰) یُّرۡسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَیۡکُمۡ مِّدۡرَارًا (۱۱)
وَّ یُمۡدِدۡکُمۡ بِاَمۡوَالٍ وَّ بَنِیۡنَ وَ یَجۡعَلۡ لَّکُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّ یَجۡعَلۡ لَّکُمۡ اَنۡہٰرًا (۱۲)
I therefore told them, 'Seek forgiveness from your Lord; He is Most Forgiving. He will send down upon you rain in abundance. And will support you with wealth and sons, and will make gardens for you and make rivers for you.'[2]
“O Sufyān! If fear of being harmed by a king arises, or any serious worry comes about, recite لَاحَوْلَ وَلَاقُوَّۃَ اِلَّابِاللہ in abundance. This is the key to prosperity and a treasure from the treasures of Paradise.”
After hearing these, Imam Sufyān al-Thawrī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said, “Three statements; and what amazing three statements they were.”
