Hadith.1555 - Mu'awiya ibn Maythara narrated that Imam (as) said
"No servant who performs istikhara (seeks Allah’s (swt) guidance) seventy times with this istikhara will be left without Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, granting him guidance." The supplication is: "O’ the best of those who see, O’ the most hearing of the hearers, O’ the swiftest of reckoners, O’ the most merciful of the merciful, O’ the wisest of judges, send blessings upon Muhammad and his family and guide me in such and such matter."
1555 - وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَا اِسْتَخَارَ اَللَّهَ عَبْدٌ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً بِهَذِهِ اَلاِسْتِخَارَةِ إِلاَّ رَمَاهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْخِيَرَةِ يَقُولُ يَا أَبْصَرَ اَلنَّاظِرِينَ وَ يَا أَسْمَعَ اَلسَّامِعِينَ وَ يَا أَسْرَعَ اَلْحَاسِبِينَ وَ يَا أَرْحَمَ اَلرَّاحِمِينَ وَ يَا أَحْكَمَ اَلْحَاكِمِينَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ خِرْ لِي فِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا.
