\n The Niaz is also part of a celebration, a day on which Allah -azwj relieved momineen from one of the worst Muslim rulers, who was trying to kill and eliminated shia-e-Ali sws .
\n Mojiza of Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws \n Recite Salawat 3 times prior to reciting the following: \n A very poor woodcutter used to live in a city and cut woods every day in a jungle, and sell tree branches to earn a living for his family.\u00a0 Upon finding it difficult to make both ends meet, one day he decided to go abroad to earn better wages for them. They prayed to God for blessings and for mercy on them.
\n He left in the search of work and a better job, but unfortunately his fate was not in his favour. He intended to return home, but time slowly slipped away and he could not save enough from the little savings he managed to secure from his few odd jobs. He remained in uncertainty for twelve years thinking of gathering money – but during all that time, he could neither send any money to his family nor go back to see them.
\n On the other hand, his wife initially waited for a few days, with the hope that her husband will soon start supporting them. However, when she did not hear from him for a long time – in order to support her starving family – she found herself a job, as a cleaner in the local minister\u2019s palace, to bring home some food for survival.
\n One day, she saw a dream that she was cleaning the minister\u2019s palace, when, all of a sudden, the Master of both worlds, Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws , came into the courtyard with his companions.
\n He enquired from his companions: \u2018Do you know which date it is today and which month it is?\u2019 \n They replied, \u2018Ya Mola, -asws tonight is 22 nd Rajab-ul-mujarab.’ \n The Imam -asws replied from his Divine tongue that if some one is engulfed into troubles, no matter how severe or bad they are, they should prepare \u2018pooriyan\u2019 of 1 and 1\/4 kg of flour, and give a Nazar on the morning of 22 nd Rajab, and pray to Allah -azwj and ask for Our -asws sake.
Allah -azwj will, for sure, listen to their requests and relieve them from their hardships. \n When the woodcutter\u2019s wife woke up, she decided to perform this Nazar. And, on the morning of 22 nd Rajab, after praying Fajar, she did the Nazar exactly in the way as prescribed by the Imam sws in her dream. \n Salawat!
