"Abu al-Qasim Sa'id ibn Muhammad al-Mu'addab informed us, from Abu al-Su'ud Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Majla, who said: Abu Mansur Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Akbari told us, saying: 'Ali ibn Ahmad al-Shuruti and Abu Muhsil Mahmud told us, both saying: Ahmad ibn al-Husayn al-Mu'addil told us, saying: Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad ibn al-Fadl al-Akhbari, the predecessor of Salaf ibn al-'Iraqi in Baghdad, told us, saying: Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Katib told me, saying: Ahmad ibn al-Qasim told me, saying: Ahmad ibn Idris ibn Ahmad told us, from Nasr ibn Muzahim, saying: 'Ubayd Allah ibn Isma'il told us, from 'Amr ibn Thabit, from his father, from al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, who said: I said to 'Ali: "O Commander of the Faithful! I ask you by Allah and His Messenger, will you not single me out with the greatest thing that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ singled you out with, and that Jibril singled you out with, and that the Most Merciful sent down with?" He laughed, then said to him: "When you want to call upon Allah by His greatest name, recite from the beginning of Surat al-Hadid to the end of six verses of it, including 'Knower of what is in the breasts', and from the end of Surat al-Hashr, meaning four verses. Then raise your hands and say: 'O He who is such, I ask You by the right of these names that You send blessings upon Muhammad, and that You do for me such-and-such, whatever You wish.' By Allah, other than whom there is no god, you will surely return with your need, if Allah the Exalted wills." Al-Mughni says: 'Amr ibn Thabit is a Rafidi whom they abandoned."
