ذَكَرَ الشَّيْخُ فِي الْمِصْبَاحِ فِي أَعْمَالِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَابِدُ بِالدَّالِيَةِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ مَوْلَايَ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ بِسُرَّ مَنْ رَأَى سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ وَ مِائَتَيْنِ أَنْ يُمْلِيَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ أَوْصِيَائِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ كُنْتُ أَحْضَرْتُ مَعِي قِرْطَاساً كَبِيراً فَأَمْلَى عَلَيَّ لَفْظاً مِنْ غَيْرِ صَحِيفَةٍ وَ قَالَ اكْتُبْ:
SALAWAT UPON THE HOLY INFALLIBLES. Within the recommended rites on Fridays, Shaykh al-Tusi, in his book of Misbah al-Mutahajjid, has mentioned the following: A group of our companions have reported on the authority of Abu'l-Mufazzal al-Shaybani that Abu-Muhammad 'Abdullah ibn Muhammad al'Abid related to them in al-Daliyah, saying: In the year 255, I asked my master Imam al-Hasan al'Askari, peace be upon him, in his house in Surra-Man-Ra'a (Samarra') to dictate to me an invocation of blessings upon the Prophet and his Successors, peace be upon him and them, after l had brought with me a big sheet of paper. The Imam ('a) dictated to me orally, saying: Write down the following:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ حُجَّةِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad, the master of the Messengers, the Seal of the Prophets, and the Argument of the Lord of the worlds.
الْمُنْتَجَبِ فِي الْمِيثَاقِ الْمُصْطَفَى فِي الضِّلَالِ الْمُطَهَّرِ مِنْ كُلِّ آفَةٍ الْبَرِي‏ءِ مِنْ كُلِّ عَيْبٍ
The chosen in the covenant, the elect in the pre-existence, the purified from every blight, the free from every defect.
الْمُؤَمَّلِ لِلنَّجَاةِ الْمُرْتَجَى لِلشَّفَاعَةِ الْمُفَوَّضِ إِلَيْهِ دِينُ اللَّهِ
The hoped for salvation, the expected for intercession, the one to whom the religion of Allah has been entrusted.
