GRANTING OF REQUESTS AT IMAM AL REZA'S TOMB

In this respect, it seems appropriate to mention a few matters, as follows:

First: According to an acceptable chain of authority, Imam ‘Ali al-Naqi (al-Hadi) is reported to have said, “Whoever has an urgent need to be granted by Almighty Allah, may visit the tomb of my grandfather al-Rida in Tus and, after bathing himself, offer a two-unit prayer at the side of his head and mention his need in the supplication (qunut) of the prayer. Doing so, his need will be granted unless it results in an act of disobedience to Him or a rupture of relations with the relatives. Verily, the place of his tomb is an area of Paradise. Any faithful believer who visits him will be saved from Hellfire and allowed to enter Paradise by Almighty Allah.”
