O Allah I ask You in the name of Your Prophet.

O Allah I ask You in the name of Your Prophet..' In the supplication of Imam Ali ibn al-Hussain he said: «O Lord, deliver me from sadness by the right of Muhammad and his Household.»[^11] The Hanbali shaikh Abu Ali al-Khala said: «Whenever something worries me I would visit the tomb of [Imam] Musa ibn Jafar and ask for his intercession, and Allah always granted me what I asked for.»[^12] Imam al-Shafi said: «I seek blessings through Abi Hanifa by visiting his tomb daily.

If I need anything I would perform a short prayer, visit his tomb and implore Allah to grant me my wish. My supplications were always answered.»[^13] Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn al-Mo'amal said: «We accompanied Imam Abi Bakr ibn Khuzaima, Abi Ali al-Thaqafi and a group of religious scholars on a visit to the tomb of [Imam] Ali ibn Musa al- Rida in Toos (Persia).

I was astonished by the high respect shown by Ibn Khuzaima towards the tomb and his supplications at it.»[^14] Ibn Taimai said: Ahmed ibn Hanbal, as reported in Minsak al-Mirwithi , allowed asking for the Prophet's intercession and supplicating at his tomb. Other sources such as Ibn Abi al-Dunia, al-Baihaqi, al-Tabarani have also confirmed this, according to Ibn Taimia.[^15] [^1]: Sunnun al-Darqutni, vol. 2, p. 278.
