فَقَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع إِذَا أَرَدْتَ الْمُوَاقَعَةَ وَ قَعَدْتَ مَقْعَدَ الرَّجُلِ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ فَضَعْ يَدَكَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى يَمِينِ سُرَّةِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ اقْرَأْ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ وَاقِعْ أَهْلَكَ فَإِنَّكَ تَرَى مَا تُحِبُّوَ إِذَا تَبَيَّنَتِ الْحَمْلُ فَمَتَى مَا تَقَلَّبَتِ اللَّيْلُ فَضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى يَمْنَةِ سُرَّتِهَا وَ اقْرَأْ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ Al-Sadiq -asws said: ‘When you want to have marital relations and sit the sitting of the man from a woman, place your right hand upon the right of the navel of the wife and read Surah Al-Qadr (Chapter 97) seven times .
