مروي عن الأئمة المعصومين عليهم السلام في كتب الأدعية المعتبرة.
Shaykh al-Tusi, Sayyid Ibn Baqi, and Shaykh al-Kaf'ami have divided the day into twelve hours, dedicating each hour to one of the Twelve Imams (a.s.) and mentioning an advocacy-seeking supplication (i.e. tawassul) addressed to the Imam of that hour. Although these master scholars have not mentioned any tradition that is reported from the Holy Imams (a.s.) about this division, we, depending on the high regard of these scholars, can say that they would never say or do anything unless they had acquainted themselves with a narration indicating that saying or deed. However, in this brief book, I will mention only the supplicatory prayers that I have quoted from the book of Misbah al-Mutahajjid (by Shaykh al-Tusi).
Shaykh al-Tusi, Sayyid Ibn Baqi, na Shaykh al-Kaf'ami wameugawa mchana katika saa kumi na mbili, wakitenga kila saa kwa mmoja wa Maimamu Kumi na Wawili (a.s.) na kutaja dua ya kutafuta uombezi (yaani tawassul) iliyoelekezwa kwa Imamu wa saa hiyo. Ingawa wanazuoni hawa mashuhuri hawajataja mapokeo yoyote yaliyoripotiwa kutoka kwa Maimamu Watakatifu (a.s.) kuhusu mgawanyo huu, sisi, kutegemea heshima kubwa ya wanazuoni hawa, tunaweza kusema kwamba hawangesema au kufanya chochote isipokuwa wangekuwa wamejua hadithi inayoashiria kauli au tendo hilo. Hata hivyo, katika kitabu hiki kifupi, nitataja tu sala za maombi nilizozinukuu kutoka kitabu cha Misbah al-Mutahajjid (cha Shaykh al-Tusi).
