Answer:
I do not know whether the Imam did this, but if a calamity befalls him and he humbles himself to Allah, prays and supplicates, or fasts and supplicates, then that is closer to being answered if a distress befalls him, if a distress befalls him and he humbles himself to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and fasts, and supplicates while fasting, or prays, and supplicates after the prayer, or during the prayer, then that is closer to being answered without a doubt.
