Tafseer Al-Imam Al-Askari (Pbuh) Book: He (Pbuh) reported from his forefathers (Pbut) from Ameer Elmo'mineen (Pbuh) that he said: " Allah gave the opening of the book for Mohammad (Pbuhp) and his nation. He started it with thanking and praising Him, then added supplicating Allah. I heard the Messenger of Allah (Pbuhp) say: " Allah said: "I divided Al-Fatiha upon Me and My servant. Have of it is for me and the other half is for him. To my servant I shall give what he asks for."
When a servant says: "In the name of Allah The Most Merciful The Most Gracious" Allah says: "My servant started with my name. He has the right that I fulfill his matters and bless his conditions."
When he says: "Thanks for Allah Lord of all realms." Allah says: "My servant thanked me and knew that the bounties he has are from me and the afflictions were cleared away from him by me. Bear witness that I will grant him the bounties of the hereafter added to that of Donia and I will clear away the afflictions of the hereafter as I did to that of Donia."
-the Completion of the narration that is in Oyoun Al-Ghurar Book-
When he says: "The Most Gracious The Most Merciful" Allah says: " He admitted that I'm The Most Gracious The Most Merciful. Bear witness that I grant him a portion from my mercy and my givings."
When he says: " Master of the Day of Judgment" Allah says: "Bear witness. As he admitted that I'm the master of Judgment Day, I will ease his judgment on Judgment Day. I will
accept his righteous deeds and remit his sins."
When he says: "You do we worship" Allah says: "My servant is honest. He worships me. I will reward him for his worship with a reward because of which all who opposed him in worshiping me will
envy him."
When he says: "You do we seek aid" Allah says: " My servant has sought aid and refuge with Me. Bear witness that I will help him in his matters and aid him in his hard ones and succor him in his calamities."
When he says: "Guide us to the straight way # The way of those on whom You hast bestowed Your Grace # those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray" Allah says: "This is for my servant and my servant will have what he asked for. I responded to his plea, gave him what he asked for and protected him from what he fears.""

I prefer them over all the kingdoms that you gave me." Allah said: "O Suleiman, indeed it is true.

O Suleiman this is one seventh of what I give but only Mohammad the Master of prophets have the complete Opening of the book."
