Knowing the Sources and Investigating the Documentation of “Health Prayer” (By Examining the Development Process of the Prayer Text in the Sources)

The “health prayer” for Imam of the Time (A.S) is a brief and useful prayer that strengthens the spiritual connection with the Imam of the Time. Some of the so-called intellectuals have attempted to call it invalid by defecting the documentation of the prayer. According to the credible sources that have quoted this prayer, one can move towards accepting part of the prayer. This article examines the process the prayer content has gone through in the sources by examining the sources of the “health prayer” and their transmission quality. Below each source of the prayer document is reviewed and the characteristics of that source are mentioned. Reasoning how to suspend the prayer document and review all sources is an advantage this paper has and distinguishes it from other similar works.
