1. 42: Gifting the Thawab of prayers to Imam (a)

This is also included among the duties of Shias during Ghaibat. The proof is the tradition related by Sayyid Ibne Tawoos (r.a.) from Abu Muhammad Saimri that it is narrated from the holy Imam (a): “One who gifts the Thawab of his prayers to the Messenger of Allah (s), Amirul Momineen and the Imams after him, Allah shall increase the reward of this prayer to such an extent that one becomes breathless while counting it. And before his soul is separated from his body he is told, ‘O Man! Your gift has reached me! Since this is the day of recompense, may your heart gladden and eyes brighten through the recompense that Allah has fixed for you and which you have reached. Congratulation for it.’” The narrator says that he asked Imam (a) how they should gift the prayer and what they should recite to gift its Thawab. Imam (a) told him, “Make an intention (niyaat) that the Thawab of this prayer is for the Messenger of Allah (s)….”³⁴³

The author of this book, Muhammad Taqi Musawi (r.a.) says: It is clear from the concerning traditional reports that it is recommended to gift the reward of recommended as well as obligatory prayers to the Messenger of Allah (s) and the Holy Imams (a).

1. 43: Gift of a Special Prayer

This can be any special prayer that a momin recites for gifting its Thawab to Imam Zamana (a) or any other Imam (a). There is no fixed quantity of this prayer nor is there a prescribed time for it. It depends upon how much we love Imam (a) and how much we can strive for him. The proof of this virtuous act is the tradition which states that even if we recite two rakat prayer everyday, we can gift its Thawab to one of the Imams. The method of reciting this two rakat prayer is that we start it with seven or three takbeers (Allaho Akbar), or one takbeer in every rakat. After ruku and two Sajdahs, we recite the following Dua three times:

May Allah bless Muhammad and the Progeny of Muhammad the chaste and the pure ones.
