مروي عن الأئمة المعصومين عليهم السلام في كتب الأدعية والزيارات المعتبرة.
Virtues, description, and recitation method of ISTIKHARAH OF THE AUTHOR OF AL-JAWAHIR as recorded in Shia traditions.
ISTIKHARAH OF THE AUTHOR OF AL-JAWAHIR
The sublime and well-versed jurisprudent, the author of
Jawahir al-Kalam, says: There is another method of
Istikharah practiced by some people of this age and probably
ascribed to our master, the Rising Imam, may Allah hasten
his reappearance: You may grasp a rosary from two ends
randomly and pull each eight beads together after you say
some holy verses and a supplication. If the remaining (to the
other end) is one bead, this means that it is good in general.
If two beads remain, this is an indication of warning against
doing what you have intended to do. If three beads remain,
then you have the choice to do or not to do. If four beads
remain, then this is double warning. If fives beads remain,
then the mission will be tiresome (according to some
scholars) or blameworthy (according to others). If six beads
remain, this means that the matter is utterly good to do and it
must be done as soon as possible. If seven beads remain,
the matter is as same as the remaining of five beads. If eight
beads remain, this means that warning is extremely
confirmed.
