[5] في الكافي محمد بن يحيى عن أحمد بن محمد عن على بن الحكم عن رجل عن محمد بن مسلم عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: من أراد أن يحبل له فليصل ركعتين بعد الجمعة يطيل فيهما الركوع والسجود، ثم يقول: اللهم ان اسئلك بما سئلك به زكريا إذ قال: رب لا تذرني فردا وأنت خير الوارثين، اللهم هب لى ذرية طيبة انك سميع الدعاء اللهم باسمك استحللتها، وفى امانتك أخذتها، فان قضيت في رحمها ولدا فاجعله غلاما مباركا زكيا، ولا تجعل للشيطان فيه نصيبا ولا شركا.

In Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from a man, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, ‘Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘The one who wants that there should be a pregnancy for (his wife), should Pray two cycles after the Friday, prolonging in it the Bowings and the Prostrations, then he should be saying, ‘Our Allah -azwj ! I ask You -azwj with what Zakariyya -as asked You -saww for when he said: [21:89] Do not leave me alone; and You are the Best of inheritors .

Our Allah -azwj ! Gift to me a good offspring, You -azwj are the Hearer of the supplication. Our Allah -azwj ! It is by Your -azwj Name that I consider it permissible, and in Your -azwj Entrustment that I take it. Thus, if You -azwj Judge it so for a son to be in her womb, so Make it to be a Blessed boy, pure, and do not Let Satan -la to have any share in it or association’.
