Like other recommended prayers, Imam al-Zaman’s prayer consists of two rak'as. In each rak'a, when reciting Sura al-Hamd, the worshipper should recite the verse “إیاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ إیاكَ نَسْتَعین” 100 times, and should then recite [[Sura al-Tawhid]]. According to some sources, the phrases of [[ruku']] and [[sujud]] should be recited 7 times, but other sources do not mention any specific number of recitations for its ruku' and sujud.

When the prayer is finished, [[tahlil]], i.e. the phrase, “لا إلهَ اِلّا الله” (there is no god except [[Allah]]), should be recited once, and then [[Tasbih of Lady Fatima (a)]] should be recited. Then the worshipper should go to the position of sujud and recite the [[salawat]] for 100 times.

In the story of Hasan b. Muthla regarding the construction of the Jamkaran Mosque, the divine reward for saying Imam al-Zaman’s prayer in the Jamkaran Mosque is said to be equal to saying it in the [[Ka'ba]].

A letter is cited in ''Muhaj al-da'awat'' and ''al-Balad al-amin'' from Imam al-Mahdi (a) to the effect that if one has a request from God, then one should perform a [[ghusl]] on Thursday night after the midnight and should then perform this prayer and should recite a specific supplication for this prayer and asked God to respond to his or her request. This prayer is cited in ''[[Mafatih al-jinan]]''.

Sayyid b. Tawus said in his ''Jamal al-usbu’'' that one should recite the [[Faraj Supplication]] after saying this prayer. According to authors of ''Danishnama Imam Mahdi'' (Imam Mahdi’s (a) Encyclopedia), each of the prayer and the supplication have their own independent chains of narrations, and their combination is prescribed by Sayyid b. Tawush himself.
