16 & 17. Warding Off Calamities And Increase In Sustenance

There are a large number of traditions that prove this matter. Among them are:

  1. In Kafi, through his own authentic of narrators, it is narrated from His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) that he said:

“Prayer of a man for his brother in his absence increases sustenance and wards off calamities.”[^1]

  1. In Wasailush Shia from Humran bin Ayyin it is narrated that His Eminence, Abu Ja’far Baqir (as) said in a tradition:

“You must pray for your brother in religion in his absence as it increases your sustenance, and he said it thrice.”[^2]

  1. Also in the traditional report of Musada bin Sadqa from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) it is narrated that he said:

“Indeed, prayer of a believer for his brother in his absence is accepted and it increases sustenance and wards off difficulties.”[^3]

  1. From Muawiyah bin Ammar from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) it is narrated that he said:

“Praying for your brother in his absence attracts the sustenance of the supplicant, and wards off calamities from him and the angels tell him: The like of it is given to you.”[^4]

I say: These traditions prove that these two benefits would accrue to the supplicant who prays for any believer in his absence. O sensible people, do you know anyone more perfect in faith than your master, the Master of the Time (aj)? Since his Marefat is a cause for perfection of faith, hasten to pray for His Eminence.
