According to consults of some Shi'a scholars, some Shi'as make [[Tawassul]] to Imam al-Jawad (a) for increase in their daily sustenance and solution of their material problems and call him [[Bab al-Hawa'ij]] [Gate of Requests]. An example of such consults is quoted by [[the Second Majlisi]] from [[Abu al-Wafa' Shirazi]] who claimed that [[the Prophet (s)]] advised him in his dream to make Tawassul to Imam al-Jawad (a) in material issues. | |||
[[Al-'Allama al-Majlisi]] narrated from Abu al-Wafa', | |||
"I was once arrested by son of Ilyas, governor of [[Kerman]] and was imprisoned for a while. After a while, I recognized that they are plotting for killing me. I was worried and did not know what to do to free from such a plot. One night I made entreaty to [[Imam al-Sajjad (a)]] while I was praying before God and I asked God freedom. Instantly I went sleeping and I dreamed [[the Prophet (s)]] who said, 'Do not make entreaty to me, [[Fatima al-Zahra (a)|my daughter]], [[al-Hasan]], [[al-Husayn]] or others; but for the increase of daily sustenance and solving problems make entreaty to my son al-Jawad (a), through whom God will answer your request.'" | |||
