Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Humayd ibn Ziyad from al- Hassan ibn Muhammad all from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan al-Mithami from Ya’qub ibn Shu’ayb who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘The Messenger of Allah has said that in a son of Adam there are three hundred sixty veins of which one hundred eighty are moving and one hundred eighty are quiet. If a moving vein becomes quiet one cannot sleep and if a quiet one moves one cannot sleep’.

The Messenger of Allah in the morning would say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds, a great deal of praise in all conditions, three hundred sixty times and so also he would do in the evening.’” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (12/145))
