Imam Ali (AS) said, When you have any need [that you wish for] from Allah, the Glorified, then start by sending salutations on the Prophet (s) and then ask Allah for your need, for Allah, the Most High, is too generous to fulfil one of the two supplications that are made to Him and refuse the other.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إذا كانَتْ لَكَ إلَى اللّهِ سُبْحانَهُ حاجَةٌ فَابْدأ بِالصَّلاةِ عَلَى النَّبيِّ صلَّى اللّه عليه و آله و سلَّم ثُمَّ اسْألِ اللّهَ حاجَتَكَ فإنَّ اللّهَ تعالى أكْرَمُ مِنْ أنْ يُسْألَ حاجَتَينِ فيَقْضِيَ إحديهُما وَيَمْنَعَ الأُخرى
