He cited the supplication which contains the following: “… and they both ridiculed Your Messenger and killed the son of Your Prophet (A.S.)…, etc.”
The great `allama and the ascetic worshipper, Sayyid Ibn Tawoos, may Allah have mercy on him, has transmitted a supplication by our master Imam al-Rida (A.S.) to be recited during sajdat al-shukr (prostration of thanksgiving) which he narrates through the isnad to Sa`d ibn `Abdullah in a book detailing the rewards of supplication. He cites Aba Ja`fer quoting Muhammed (A.S.) ibn Isma`al ibn Bazee` quoting Imam al-Rida (A.S.) and also Bakar ibn Salih from Sulayman ibn Ja`fer from al-Rida (A.S.).
Both men say that they visited him once as he was prostrating the prostration of thanksgiving. He prolonged his prostration then raised his head. They said to him, “You surely have prolonged your prostration!” He said, “Anyone who supplicates to Allah reciting this plea will be regarded as though he had shot arrows during the battle of Badr in the company of the Messenger of Allah (A.S.).” They asked him if they should write it down. He said, “Write down that once you are prostrating during sajdat al-shukr, you should say…, etc.” He cited the supplication which contains the following: “… and they both ridiculed Your Messenger and killed the son of Your Prophet (A.S.)…, etc.”[1]
