Second Istekhara

Allama Majlisi writes in his book ‘Bihar ul Anwaar’ that:

            I heard from my father that he narrated this tradition from Sheikh Bahayi (R.A.) who said:

            I was having a conversation with my teacher as they said: It is narrated from Imam Mahdi (A.S.) regarding Istekhara through chaplet that he said:

            Take a chaplet, recite Salawaat on Mohammad and his Holy Progeny (P.B.U.T.) three times, then hold a portion of the chaplet and count two-two beads till the end, if one bead remains, then perform your intended work; and if two beads remain, then do not perform it.^[1]
