Dua Tawassul
Najmus Saqib in Bihar-ul-Anwar states the story of Abu Wafa Shirazi. Abu Wafa Shirazi was a follower of Ahlul Bait and was wrongly imprisoned by Abu Ilyas for a crime he did not commit. He was confined to a cell and was on death row. One Thursday night, Abu Wafa prays then falls asleep and in his dream he sees the Prophet who tells him how to ask for intercession, from each of the infallibles:
Imam Ali: When you are in need to take revenge from an enemy use the wasilah of Imam Ali (a.s).
Bibi Fatema, Imam Hassan and Imam Husayn (a.s): When you pray for your affairs of the next world and when you wish the blessings of Almighty Allah to be bestowed upon you, then you should supplicate these three infallibles.
Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s): When praying against oppression, injustice, tyranny and violence, and from the wickedness and mischief of the Shayateen, pray through the wasila of the 4th Imam.
Imam Baqir and Imam Sadiq (a.s): When seeking nearness and attaining the pleasure of Almighty Allah use the wasilah of these Imams.
Imam Kadhim (a.s): When praying for well being in your worldly affairs, pray through the wasilah of the 7th Imam.
Imam Ridha (a.s): When departing on a journey, pray for your health, safe trip and safe return through the wasilah of the 8th Imam.
Imam Jawaad (a.s): When praying for your livelihood and abundance in sustenance, pray through the wasilah of the 9th Imam.
Imam Haadi (a.s): ask for the acceptance of your Nawafil Prayers, and to be kind to your brothers in Islam for the pleasure of Allah, through the 10th Imam.
Imam Hassan Al Askeri (a.s): when praying for your Akhirat (The next world) use the wasilah of the 11th Imam.
Imam Hujjah (a.s): When praying for any of your religious or worldly affairs or problems, and when you think there is no solution to a problem, call upon the Imam of our time, Imam Mahdi (atf).
