قَالَ الإِمَامُ الصَّادِقُ عَليهِ السَّلامْ:
أَسْتَخِرِاللهَ فِي أَخِرِ رَكْعَةٍ مِنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ وَأَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ مِائَةً مَرَّةِ وَ مَرَّةٍ تَقُولُ ((أَسْتَخِيرُ اللهَ بِرَحْمَتِهِ)).
al‑Imam al‑Sadiq (as) said: "In your final rakat of Salat al‑Lail, while you are in sajdah, ask Allah for the best by reciting the following one hundred and one times:
أَسْتَخِيرُ اللهَ بِرَحْمَتِهِ
`I seek the best from Allah by His mercy. "3
