Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ari has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad from Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “My father (a.s.) has said, ‘Five kinds of prayers are not barred from the Lord, the Most Blessed, the Most High: the prayer of an Imam who is just in his dealings, the prayer of an oppressed as Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, “I will revenge for you even if it may come after a long time,” the prayer of a virtuous son for his parents, the prayer of a virtuous father for his son and the prayer of a believing person for his brother (in belief) in his absence to whom it is said, ‘You will have as your reward just like what you asked for him.’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (12/171))
