Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that a person came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) and said, "I have dedicated my one-third prayer for you." The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, "Goodness be for you." The man said, "I have dedicated half of my prayer for you." He replied, "You did a really good thing." The man told him, "I have dedicated my whole prayer for you." He replied, "Allah will fulfill all your desires of this world and the hereafter." At that time, a person asked Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.), "May Allah do good to you, how can a person dedicate his supplication to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.)?" Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.) said, "Send salutation of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny before asking for anything from Allah."
