During Friday night and day, perform salat (prayer) near the pillar next to Maqam of the Holy Prophet and say this prayer for your wishes.

“O Allah, I appeal before You through Your majesty, through Your power, through Your measures and through all things which are encompassed in Your knowledge to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause) and make my so and so wishes come true.’”” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/271))
