وَ قَالَ ع قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَمْلُ الْعَصَا يَنْفِي الْفَقْرَ وَ لَا يُجَاوِرُهُ شَيْطَانٌ.
And he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Carrying the walking stick negates the poverty and Satan-la will not be in his vicinity’’.[1]
وَ عَنْهُ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَمْلُ الْعَصَا عَلَامَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ سُنَّةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ

And he-saww said: ‘One who wants the ground to fold for him (his journey to pass quickly), let him take the stick of bitter almond’’.[3]
وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ تُطْوَى لَهُ الْأَرْضُ فَلْيَتَّخِذِ النُّقُدَ مِنَ الْعَصَا وَ النُّقُدُ عَصَا لَوْزٍ مُرٍّ

ثواب الأعمال عَنِ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ الرَّيَّانِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص
(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – from Ibn Idrees, from his father, from Al Ashari, from Ibn Hashim, from Abdul Jabbar and Ismail and Al Rayyan altogether, from Yunus,
‘From a number of companions of Abu Abdullah-asws, he-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws narrated to me-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Amir Al-Momineen-asws that Rasool-Allah-saww said:
مَنْ خَرَجَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَ مَعَهُ عَصَا لَوْزٍ مُرٍّ وَ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ- وَ لَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ تِلْقاءَ مَدْيَنَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ اللَّهُ عَلى ما نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ آمَنَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ كُلِّ سَبُعٍ ضَارٍ وَ كُلِّ لِصٍّ عَادٍ وَ كُلِّ ذَاتِ حُمَةٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ مَنْزِلِهِ وَ كَانَ مَعَهُ سَبْعَةٌ وَ سَبْعُونَ مِنَ الْمُعَقِّبَاتِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ وَ يَضَعَهَا.
‘One who goes out in a journey and with him is a stick of bitter almond, and he recites this Verse: And when he headed towards Madyan, [28:22] – up to His-azwj Words: and Allah is a Witness upon what we are saying [28:28], Allah-azwj will Secure him from every harmful wild animal, and every returning thief, and all with a sting, until he returns to his family and his house, and there will be seventy-seven from the successive Angels and they will be seeking Forgiveness for him until he return and places it down’’.[5]
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمَشْيُ مَعَ الْعَصَا مِنَ التَّوَاضُعِ وَ يُكْتَبُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ أَلْفُ حَسَنَةٍ وَ يُرْفَعُ لَهُ أَلْفُ دَرَجَةٍ.
From Umm Salamah-ra having said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The walking with the walking stich is from the humility, and it will be written for him, with every step, a thousand good deeds, and a thousand ranks Raised for him’’.[6]
