مروي عن الأئمة المعصومين عليهم السلام في كتب الأدعية المعتبرة.
Sixteenth: Al-Kaf'ami, in his book entitled al-Misbah, and al-Muhaddith al-Fayz, in his book entitled Khulasat al-Adhkar, have said the following: In some books written by Imamiyyah scholars, we have found that whoever wishes to see in dream one of the Prophets, one of the Holy Imams, one of people, or one of his parents, may recite Surah al-Shams (No. 91), Surah al-Layl (No. 92), Surah al-Qadr, Surah al-Kafirun, Surah al-Tawhid, Surah al-Falaq, and Surah al-Nas. Then, he may repeat Surah al-Tawhid one hundred times, repeat the invocation of Allah's blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household one hundred times, and having performed the ritual ablutions (i.e. wuzu') sleeps on his right side. If he does, he will see in dream whomever Allah wants him to see and talk with Whomever Allah wants him to talk with. According to another copy, one may do all the previous at seven (successive) nights after saying this supplicatory prayer:
Ya kumi na sita: Al-Kaf'ami, katika kitabu chake kiitwacho al-Misbah, na al-Muhaddith al-Fayz, katika kitabu chake kiitwacho Khulasat al-Adhkar, wamesema yafuatayo: Katika baadhi ya vitabu vilivyoandikwa na wanachuoni wa Imamiyyah, tumekuta kwamba yeyote anayetaka kumuona katika ndoto mmoja wa Mitume, mmoja wa Maimamu Watukufu, mmoja wa watu, au mmoja wa wazazi wake, asome Surah al-Shams (Na. 91), Surah al-Layl (Na. 92), Surah al-Qadr, Surah al-Kafirun, Surah al-Tawhid, Surah al-Falaq, na Surah al-Nas. Kisha, akarudie Surah al-Tawhid mara mia moja, akarudie kumswalia Mtume Mtukufu na Ahlul-Bayt wake mara mia moja, na baada ya kutawadha alale kwa upande wake wa kulia. Akifanya hivyo, atamuona katika ndoto yule ambaye Mwenyezi Mungu anataka amuone na kuzungumza na yule ambaye Mwenyezi Mungu anataka azungumze naye. Kulingana na nakala nyingine, mtu anaweza kufanya yote yaliyotangulia kwa usiku saba (mfululizo) baada ya kusoma dua hii:
اَللّهُمَّ اَنْتَ الْحَىُّ الَّذِي لَا يُوْصَفُ
Allāhumma anta al-ḥayyu alladhī lā yūṣaf
O Allah, You are the Ever-living Lord Who is beyond all descriptions.
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, Wewe ndiye Mola Uliye Hai daima ambaye uko juu ya maelezo yote.
وَالْاِيْمَانُ يُعْرَفُ مِنْهُ
Wal-īmānu yu‘rafu minhu
True faith is recognized from the recognition of You.
Na imani ya kweli inatambulika kupitia kukutambua Wewe.
Wa an turiyanī mayyitī fī al-ḥāli allatī huwa fīhā
and to allow me to see my dead person in his very current situation.
na unionyeshe maiti wangu katika hali aliyonayo sasa.

Seventeenth: The author of Khulasat al-Adhkar has also reported the following from some books: In the book entitled al-Akhlaq al-Hamidah and written by Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari, I have seen this narration: Harith ibn Rawh has reported on the authority of his father on the authority of his grandfather who said to his sons: If you are attacked by a distressing matter, do not go to sleep before you make sure that your bodies, beds, and blankets are pure. While avoiding sleeping with any woman (i.e. the wife), you may recite Surah al-Shams and Surah al-Layl seven times each. After that, you may say this supplicatory prayer:
Ya kumi na saba: Mwandishi wa Khulasat al-Adhkar pia ameripoti yafuatayo kutoka kwa baadhi ya vitabu: Katika kitabu kiitwacho al-Akhlaq al-Hamidah kilichoandikwa na Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari, nimeona mapokezi haya: Harith ibn Rawh ameripoti kutoka kwa baba yake kutoka kwa babu yake ambaye aliwaambia wanawe: Mkipatwa na jambo lenye kuhuzunisha au kufadhaisha, msilale kabla ya kuhakikisha kuwa miili yenu, vitanda vyenu, na magodoro yenu ni safi (twahara). Na mkajiepusha kulala na mwanamke yeyote (yaani mke), mnasoma Surah al-Shams na Surah al-Layl mara saba kila moja. Baada ya hapo, mnasoma dua hii ya kuomba:
Allāhumma-j‘al lī min amrī hādhā farajan wa makhrajā
O Allah, (please) cause this (distressing) issue of mine to arrive at a relief and prepare for me a way out from it.
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, nijaalie katika jambo langu hili faraja na njia ya kutokea (ufumbuzi).
Once you do so, you will see in your dreams one who guides you how to find a way out from the distressing issue, either at this very night, or the third, or at the fifth (I, the reporter, think that he also added the seventh night).
Mkifanya hivyo, mtaona katika ndoto zenu mtu atakayewaongoza jinsi ya kupata njia ya kutoka katika jambo hilo la kufadhaisha, ama usiku huo huo, au wa tatu, au wa tano (mimi, mpokezi, nadhani aliongeza pia usiku wa saba).
