Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) narrates – Once I requested the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) to seek forgiveness for me.

He (s.a.w.a.) said – I will do it.

Then he (s.a.w.a.) rose, prayed namaz, then when he (s.a.w.a.) raised his hands in supplication, I heard him (s.a.w.a.) while he (s.a.w.a.) was reciting –

اللهم‏ بحق‏ علي‏ عندك‏ اغفر لعلي

‘O Allah by the right of Ali near you, forgive Ali.’

Then I said – O Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.a.), what is this?

He (s.a.w.a.) said – Had there been anyone nobler than you near Allah, I would have sought intercession through him near Allah.
