Hazrat Salman Prays for the Sake of Ale Mohammed (ams)

Salman, the Persian has reported on the authority of the Holy Prophet (SAW):     “God says: O My servant! Has it not happened that someone asks a big thing from you but you are not willing to fulfill it unless he brings the most believed person to persuade you to fulfill those desires for the sake of that intercessor?  Let it be known to you that the most honorable and supreme creature with Me is Muhammad and his brother Ali and the Imams who are the medium of nearness to Me.  Be aware that whoever has a great desire and wishes for a benefit or removal of a harm, if he calls on Me through Muhammad and his pure progeny, I will fulfill his desires far better than fulfilling the desire of one who has taken the most believed creature of God as an intercessor.”     While Salman was reporting this, some of the polytheists and hypocrites who were ridiculing him said: O Salman! Why don’t  you invoke God through these people to make you the most wealthy man in Medina?     Salman said: I called on God and requested Him to give me something which is superior to and more profitable than ruling over the whole world.  I invoked God through these honorable persons to give me a tongue which praises God, a heart which thanks His blessing, a body which can forbear all hardships.  God too fulfilled all my desires.  What I asked God is a thousand times better than ruling over the whole world.   Reference : Oddatud Daee
