Him to grant what I want for the sake of the saint. Allah Almighty then eases my difficulties and fulfils my needs.^[1]

Imam Muḥammad b. Idrīs al-ShāfiꜤī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states:

Whenever I am in need, I offer two units of salah, head to the resting place of Imam Abū Ḥanīfah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, and make dua to Allah Almighty there. My need is then fulfilled by Allah Almighty.^[2]

*    If anybody wants to visit the grave of (a saint or) any Muslim, it is recommended that he offers two units of voluntary salah at his home (at a non-disliked time). In every unit, he should recite Āyat al-Kursī once and Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ three times, after Sūrat al-Fātiḥah. He should then convey the reward of this prayer to the deceased. Allah Almighty will create light in the grave of the deceased and grant immense rewards to that person (i.e. the sender of the rewards).^[3]
