Decree for me this and this and place goodness in it for me, since verily You are the one who Decrees in this. " Asking for what is Best' in the Dua' of the Istikhara قَالَ ألإِمَامُ الصَّادِقُ عَليهِ السَلامْ: وَلْتَكُنْ إِسْتخَارَتَكَ فِي عافِيَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ رُبَّمَا خَيرٌ لِلرَّجُلِ فِي قَطْعِ يَدِهِ وَمَوْتِ وَلِدِه وَذَهّابِ مَالِهِ. al‑Imam al‑Sadiq (as) said: "...

Your seeking the best must be accompanied with requesting (something that is) good, since sometimes it is possible that what is best for a person lies in his hand being cut off, the death of his child, and the loss of his wealth and property. "[^7] [30][30] The method of `Seeking the Best' as done by the Prophet of Allah (s) عَنِ النَّبِي صَلَّى اللهُ عَلهِ وَ الِهِ: يَا أَنَس! إِذَا هَمَمْتَ بِأَمْرٍ فَاسْتَخِرْ ربَّكَ فِيهِ سَبْعَ
