This supplication has been narrated by Kulayni in his book al-Kafi, from Muhammad ibn Isa, and he also mentions this from the Salihan (that means Imams of Shia Islam, without applying specific name(s)). Seemingly there have been other narrators between Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni and Muhammad bin Isa ibn ‘Ubaid that have been omitted from the transmission chain because of being a context; i.e. Ahmad ibn Muhammad 'Asemi, Ali ibn Hasan ibn Ali ibn Fazzāl. Moreover, the Du'a "Allahumma kun li-waliyyik" also has been mentioned by others, such as: Sayyid ibn Tavus, Kaf'ami, etc.[15]
