If you have a certain request to pray Almighty Allah for granting it, you may stand before the holy tomb and make it between your shoulders, face the direction of kiblah, raise your hands, and pray for the settlement of your need, for it is predictable that your need will be settled, Allah willing.

Ibn Qawlawayh, through a considerable chain of authority, has reported Mu¦ammad ibn Mas`£d as saying that he, once, saw Imam Ja`far al-¯¡diq (‘a) coming near the tomb of the Holy Prophet(¥), putting his hand on it, and saying these words:

In Mi¥b¡¦ al-Mutahajjid, Shaykh al-±£s¢ says: When you finish praying near the tomb (of the Holy Prophet), you may come to the minbar,([1]) pass your hand over it, hold the two lower pommels, and then rub your face and eyes, for this brings about eye healing. You may then offer prayers there, praise and thank Almighty Allah, and ask for the settlement of your needs. In this respect, the Holy Prophet (¥) is reported to have said, “The area between my tomb and my minbar is one of the gardens of Paradise. My minbar is situated at one of the gates of Paradise.” You may then come near the standing-place of the Holy Prophet (maq¡m al-nab¢) and offer as many prayers as possible therein. You may also offer as many prayers as possible in the Holy Prophet’s Mosque, for the reward of one prayer herein is equal to the reward of one thousand prayers (offered at other places). Whenever you enter or leave the Mosque, you may invoke Almighty Allah’s blessings upon the Holy Prophet. You may also offer prayers at the House of Lady F¡§imah (‘a). You may also visit the standing-place of Archangel Gabriel (maq¡m jibr¡’¢l), which lies under the waterspout. At this very place, Archangel Gabriel used to stay after he would ask permission of the Holy Prophet (¥). At this place, you may say the following:

⁽[1]⁾ A minbar (pulpit) is a set of steps found in mosques.

In his book of Z¡d al-Ma`¡d, `All¡mah al-Majlis¢, within the recommended acts on the seventeenth of Rab¢` al-Awwal; the Holy Prophet’s birthday, says that Shaykh al-Muf¢d, Shaykh al-Shah¢d, and Sayyid Ibn ±¡w£s instructed the following:

When you intend to visit the Holy Prophet (¥) while you are in any place other than the holy city of al-Mad¢nah, you may bathe yourself, stand before something like a grave, write the name of the Holy Prophet (¥) on it, concentrate heartily on it, and say the following:
