If You-azwj were to Withhold my soul during my sleep, then Forgive for it, and if You-azwj were to Send it (back), then Protect with what You-azwj Protect Your-azwj righteous servants with’’.[5]
3- ب، قرب الإسناد عَنِ الْيَقْطِينِيِّ عَنِ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِذَا أَوَى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَلْيَمْسَحْهُ بِصَنِفَةِ إِزَارِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي مَا حَدَثَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَهُ.

4- ل، الخصال ن، عيون أخبار الرضا عليه السلام ع، علل الشرائع فِي خَبَرِ الشَّامِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَنِ النَّوْمِ عَلَى كَمْ وَجْهٍ هُوَ

Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘The sleep is upon four types – the Prophets-as sleep upon leaning upon their back and their-as do not sleep in anticipation for Revelation of their-as Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic.
وَ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَنَامُ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَ الْمُلُوكُ وَ أَبْنَاؤُهَا عَلَى شَمَائِلِهَا لِيَسْتَمْرِءُوا مَا يَأْكُلُونَ وَ إِبْلِيسُ وَ إِخْوَانُهُ وَ كُلُّ مَجْنُونٍ وَ ذُو عَاهَةٍ يَنَامُونَ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ مُنْبَطِحِينَ.
And the Momin sleeps upon his right, facing the Qiblah; and the kings and their sons sleep upon their left in order to continue what they are eating; and Iblees-la and his-la brethren-la, and every insane, and one with disability are sleeping upon their faces, prone’’.[7]

6- ل، الخصال فِيمَا أَوْصَى بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ص عَلِيّاً ع يَا عَلِيُّ ثَلَاثَةٌ يُتَخَوَّفُ مِنْهُنَّ الْجُنُونُ التَّغَوُّطُ بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ وَ الْمَشْيُ فِي خُفٍّ وَاحِدٍ وَ الرَّجُلُ يَنَامُ وَحْدَهُ.
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ –

And he-saww said: ‘One who sleeps upon a roof not having a covering, I-saww am freed from him of the responsibility, and it is disliked for the man to sleep in a house alone’’.[10]
8- ل، الخصال عَنِ ابْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ ابْنِ زَكَرِيَّا عَنِ ابْنِ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ هُدْبَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُبَارَكِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِلْحَسَنِ ابْنِهِ ع- يَا بُنَيَّ أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ أَرْبَعَ خِصَالٍ تَسْتَغْنِي بِهَا عَنِ الطِّبِّ

فَقَالَ بَلَى يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
He-asws said: ‘Yes, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws!’
قَالَ لَا تَجْلِسْ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ إِلَّا وَ أَنْتَ جَائِعٌ وَ لَا تَقُمْ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ إِلَّا وَ أَنْتَ تَشْتَهِيهِ وَ جَوِّدِ الْمَضْغَ وَ إِذَا نِمْتَ فَاعْرِضْ نَفْسَكَ عَلَى الْخَلَاءِ فَإِذَا اسْتَعْمَلْتَ هَذِهِ اسْتَغْنَيْتَ عَنِ الطِّبِ.
He-asws said: ‘Do not seat upon the meal except and you are hungry, and do not stand from the meal except and you are still desirous (of eating), and chew (the food) well, and when you sleep, then present yourself to the toilet. When you-asws were to utilise this, you-asws will be needless from the medicine’’.[11]

(The book) ‘Misbah Al Sharia’ –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘And sleep the sleep of worshippers and do not sleep the sleep of the heedless ones! The clever ones are sleeping in any airy place, and as for the heedless ones, they are sleeping arrogantly.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص تَنَامُ عَيْنِي وَ لَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘My-saww eyes sleep and my-saww heart does not sleep’.
وَ انْوِ بِنَوْمِكَ تَخْفِيفَ مَئُونَتِكَ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ اعْتِزَالَ النَّفْسِ مِنْ شَهَوَاتِهَا وَ اخْتَبِرْ بِهَا نَفْسَكَ مَعْرِفَةً بِأَنَّكَ عَاجِزٌ ضَعِيفٌ- لَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ حَرَكَاتِكَ وَ سُكُونِكَ إِلَّا بِحُكْمِ اللَّهِ وَ تَقْدِيرِهِ
And intend with your sleep lightening your provisions upon the Angels, and isolate the soul from its lustful desires, and test yourself with it by recognising that you are unable, weal, not able upon anything from your movements and your stillness except by a Decision of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Power.
فَإِنَّ النَّوْمَ أَخُ الْمَوْتِ فَاسْتَدْلِلْ بِهِ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ الَّذِي لَا تَجِدُ السَّبِيلَ إِلَى الِانْتِبَاهِ فِيهِ وَ الرُّجُوعِ إِلَى إِصْلَاحِ مَا فَاتَ عَنْكَ
The sleep is a brother of the death, so be pointed by it upon the death which you will not find the way to the waking up from it and the returning to correct whatever had been lost from you.
وَ مَنْ نَامَ عَنْ فَرِيضَةٍ أَوْ سُنَّةٍ أَوْ نَافِلَةٍ أَوْ فَاتَهُ بِسَبَبِهَا شَيْءٌ فَذَلِكَ نَوْمُ الْغَافِلِينَ وَ سِيرَةُ الْخَاسِرِينَ وَ صَاحِبُهُ مَغْبُونٌ
And the one who sleeps from (not performing) an Obligation or Sunnah (Salat), or something is lost by him due to its cause, so that is a sleep of the heedless ones, and conduct of the losers, and its owner has been defrauded (by his sleep).
وَ مَنْ نَامَ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنْ أَدَاءِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَ السُّنَنِ وَ الْوَاجِبَاتِ مِنَ الْحُقُوقِ فَذَلِكَ نَوْمٌ مَحْمُودٌ وَ إِنِّي لَا أَعْلَمُ لِأَهْلِ زَمَانِنَا هَذَا شَيْئاً إِذَا أَتَوْا بِهَذِهِ الْخِصَالِ أَسْلَمَ مِنَ النَّوْمِ لِأَنَّ الْخَلْقَ تَرَكُوا مُرَاعَاةَ دِينِهِمْ وَ مُرَاقَبَةَ أَحْوَالِهِمْ وَ أَخَذُوا شِمَالَ الطَّرِيقِ وَ الْعَبْدُ إِنِ اجْتَهَدَ أَنْ لَا يَتَكَلَّمَ كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُهُ أَنْ لَا يَسْتَمِعَ إِلَى مَا هُوَ مَانِعٌ لَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ
And one who sleeps after his being free from having fulfilled the Obligations and the Sunnah’s and the Obligatory from the rights, so that is a sleep of a praised one, and I-asws don’t know for the people of our-asws era, when they were to come with these traits, anything safer from the sleep, because the people are neglecting taking care of their religion, and being watchful of their situations, and they are taking the left road, and the servant, if he were to strive not to speak, how can not listen to what is preventing him from that?
وَ إِنَّ النَّوْمَ مِنْ إِحْدَى تِلْكَ الْآلَاتِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَ الْبَصَرَ وَ الْفُؤادَ كُلُّ أُولئِكَ كانَ عَنْهُ مَسْؤُلًا
And the sleep is from one of those tools. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: Surely the ears, and the eyes, and the heart, each of these would be Questioned about it [17:36].
وَ إِنَّ فِي كَثْرَتِهِ آفَاتٍ وَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى سَبِيلِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ وَ كَثْرَةُ النَّوْمِ يَتَوَلَّدُ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الشُّرْبِ وَ كَثْرَةُ الشُّرْبِ يَتَوَلَّدُ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الشِّبَعِ وَ هُمَا يُثْقِلَانِ النَّفْسَ عَنِ الطَّاعَةِ وَ يُقْسِيَانِ الْقَلْبَ عَنِ التَّفَكُّرِ وَ الْخُشُوعِ
And in its lot (of sleep), there are calamities, and even if he were to be upon a way of what we-asws have mentioned; and sleeping a lot is produced from a lot of drinking, and a lot of drinking is produced from a lot of satiation, and these two make the self to be sluggish from the acts of obedience and harden the heart from the pondering, and the humbleness.
وَ اجْعَلْ كُلَّ نَوْمِكَ آخِرَ عَهْدِكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ اذْكُرِ اللَّهَ بِقَلْبِكَ وَ لِسَانِكَ وَ خَفِ اطِّلَاعَهُ عَلَى سِرِّكَ وَ اعْتَقِدْ بِقَلْبِكَ مُسْتَعِيناً بِهِ فِي الْقِيَامِ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
And make every sleep of yours to be the last of your times from the world, and do Zikr of Allah-azwj with your heart and your tongue, and lessen notifying it upon your secret, and believe with your heart being assisted by it in standing to the Salat.
فَإِذَا انْتَبَهْتَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَقُولُ لَكَ نَمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ بَعْدُ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا يُرِيدُ تَفْوِيتَ وَقْتِ مُنَاجَاتِكَ وَ عَرْضِ حَالِكَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ وَ لَا تَغْفُلْ عَنِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ بِالْأَسْحَارِ فَإِنَّ لِلْقَانِتِينَ فِيهِ أَشْوَاقاً.
When you wake up, then the Satan-la says to you, ‘Sleep, for there is still a long night upon you’, intending the loss of time of your whispering (to Allah-azwj), and presenting your state to your Lord-azwj; and do not be heedless from seeking the Forgiveness at pre-dawn, for there is yearning in it for the ones devoutly obedient’’.[21]

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to a man from his-asws friends, and the man had asked him-asws saying, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! There is a daughter for me, and I perform ‘Ruqiya’ (Quran chanting) to her and am pitying upon her, for she tends to panic a lot, night and day. If you-asws see (fit) you-asws could supplicate for her with the prevention’.
قَالَ فَدَعَا لَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ مُرْهَا بِالْفَصْدِ فَإِنَّهَا تَنْتَفِعُ بِذَلِكَ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws supplicated for her, then said: ‘Instruct her with the cupping (blood-letting), for she will benefit with that’’.[22]
20- طب، طب الأئمة عليهم السلام أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّصْرِ عَنِ مُيَسِّرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي جَارِيَةً يَكْثُرُ فَزَعُهَا فِي الْمَنَامِ وَ رُبَّمَا اشْتَدَّ بِهَا الْحَالُ فَلَا تَهْدَأُ وَ يَأْخُذُهَا خَدَرٌ فِي عَضُدِهَا وَ قَدْ رَآهَا بَعْضُ مَنْ يُعَالِجُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ بِهَا مس [مَسّاً] مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَ لَيْسَ يُمْكِنُ عِلَاجُهَا
(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’, may the greetings be upon them-asws – Abu Ubeyda Bin Muhammad Bin Ubeyd, from his father, from Al Nasr, from Muyassir,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘A man said to him-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! There is a girl for me who frequently panics during the sleep, and sometimes the state is severe with her so she does not calm down and the numbness in her arm seizes her, and I had shown her to one of the physicians. He said that there is a touch (of evil) from people of the earth and it isn’t possible to treat her’.
فَقَالَ ع بَرِّدْهَا بِالْفَصْدِ وَ خُذْ لَهَا مَاءَ الشبيت [الشِّبِتِ] الْمَطْبُوخِ بِالْعَسَلِ وَ يُسْقَى ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ
He-asws said: ‘Cooler her down with the cupping (blood-letting) and take for her water of the dill cooked with honey and quench her for three days’.
قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَعُوفِيَتْ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I did that, and she recovered by the Permission of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[23]

(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy – It is reported by Ibn Babuwayh, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq Al Wakeel Al Qummi, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, said,
‘I entered to see Abu Muhammad-asws. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I am saddened by something afflicting me within myself, and I had intended to ask your-asws father-asws, but that did not happen for me’.
فَقَالَ مَا هُوَ
He-asws said: ‘What is it?’
فَقُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي رُوِيَ لَنَا عَنْ آبَائِكَ ع أَنَّ نَوْمَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ عَلَى أَقْفِيَتِهِمْ وَ نَوْمَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَ نَوْمَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ عَلَى شَمَائِلِهِمْ وَ نَوْمَ الشَّيَاطِينِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ
I said, ‘My Master-asws! It has been reported to us from your-asws forefathers-asws that sleep of the Prophets-as is upon their back, and sleep of the Momineen is upon their right side, and sleep of the hypocrites is upon their left side, and sleep of the Satans-la is upon their-la faces’’.
فَقَالَ كَذَلِكَ
He-asws said: ‘It is like that!’
فَقُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي فَإِنِّي أَجْهَدُ أَنْ أَنَامَ عَلَى يَمِينِي فَلَا يُمْكِنُنِي وَ لَا يَأْخُذُنِي النَّوْمُ عَلَيْهَا
I said, ‘O my Master-asws! I struggle to sleep upon my right. It is neither possible for me nor does the sleep seize me upon it!’
فَسَكَتَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَحْمَدُ ادْنُ مِنِّي
He-asws was silent for a while, then said: ‘O Ahmad, come near me-asws!’
فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَحْمَدُ أَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ تَحْتَ ثِيَابِكَ فَأَدْخَلْتُهَا فَأَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ ثِيَابِهِ وَ أَدْخَلَهَا تَحْتَ ثِيَابِي وَ مَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى جَانِبِيَ الْأَيْسَرِ وَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى جَانِبِيَ الْأَيْمَنِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ
I went near him-asws. He-asws said: ‘O Ahmad! Insert your hand under your clothes!’ I inserted it. He-asws brought out his-asws hand from under his-asws clothes and inserted it under my clothes and wiped his-asws right hand upon my left side and his-asws left hand upon my right side – three times’.
قَالَ أَحْمَدُ فَمَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَنَامَ عَلَى يَسَارِي مُنْذُ فَعَلَ ع ذَلِكَ بِي.
Ahmad (the narrator) said, ‘I have not been able upon sleeping on my left side since he-asws had done that with me’’.[24]
وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَانْظُرْ مَا سَلَكْتَ فِي بَطْنِكَ وَ مَا كَسَبْتَ فِي يَوْمِكَ وَ اذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَ أَنَّ لَكَ مَعَاداً.
And Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘When you shelter to your bed, then look (consider) what has gone into your belly, and what you have earned during your day, and remember that you will be dead and there is a Hereafter for you’’.[25]
باب 44 القراءة و الدعاء عند النوم و الانتباه
CHAPTER 44 – THE RECITATION AND THE SUPPLICATION DURING THE SLEEP AND AT WAKING UP
1- ل، الخصال الْأَرْبَعُمِائَةِ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا انْتَبَهَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ –
‘(The Hadeeth) ‘Al-Arbamiya’ – Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘When one of you wakes up from his sleep, then let him say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, the Lenient, the Benevolent, the Living, the Eternal, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ إِلَهِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ رَبِّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
Glorious is Lord-azwj of the Prophets-as and God-azwj of the Messengers-as, Lord-azwj of the seven skies and whatever is within these, and Lord-azwj of the seven earths and whatever is in these, and whatever is between these, and Lord-azwj of the Mighty Throne, and the Praise is for Allah‑azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
فَإِذَا جَلَسَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ حَسْبِيَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي هُوَ حَسْبِي مُنْذُ كُنْتُ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
When he sits up from his sleep, let him say before he stands, ‘Allah-azwj Suffices me! The Lord‑azwj Suffices me from the servants! Allah-azwj Suffices me the One-azwj Who has been Sufficing me since I have existed. Allah-azwj Suffices me and is the best Protector!’
إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى أَكْنَافِ السَّمَاءِ وَ لْيَقْرَأْ إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ.
When one of you stands from the night, let him look at canopy of the sky, and let him recited: ‘regarding the Creation of the skies and the earth: [3:191] – up to His-azwj Words: surely You do not break the Promise’ [3:194]’’.[26]
وَ قَالَ ع إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمُ النَّوْمَ فَلَا يَضَعَنَّ جَنْبَيْهِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى يَقُولَ أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ دِينِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ خَوَاتِيمَ عَمَلِي وَ مَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي وَ خَوَّلَنِي
And he-asws said: ‘Whenever one of you wants to sleep, he should not place his side upon the ground until he says, ‘I seek Refuge for myself, and my religion, and my family, and my wealth, and the conclusion of my deeds, and what my Lord-azwj has Graced me, and has Given me.
بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ عَظَمَةِ اللَّهِ وَ جَبَرُوتِ اللَّهِ وَ سُلْطَانِ اللَّهِ وَ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَ رَأْفَةِ اللَّهِ وَ غُفْرَانِ اللَّهِ وَ قُوَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ قُدْرَةِ اللَّهِ وَ جَلَالِ اللَّهِ وَ بِصُنْعِ اللَّهِ وَ أَرْكَانِ اللَّهِ وَ بِجَمْعِ اللَّهِ

وَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ بِقُدْرَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَا يَشَاءُ مِنْ شَرِّ السَّامَّةِ وَ الْهَامَّةِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَدِبُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما يَخْرُجُ مِنْها وَ ما يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَ ما يَعْرُجُ فِيها وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ
And with Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and with Power of Allah-azwj upon whatever He-azwj so Desires, from evil of the toxins and the vermins, and from evil of the Jinn and the humans, and evil of what enters into the earth and what comes out from it, and what descends from the sky and what ascends to it, [34:2], and from evil of every animal.
رَبِّي آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ- وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
My Lord-azwj Seizes it by its forelock. Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight Path [11:56] and He is Able upon all things [11:4], and there is neither any Might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!’
فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يُعَوِّذُ بِهَا الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع- وَ بِذَلِكَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص.
Rasool-Allah-saww used to seek Refuge by it for Al-Hassan-asws and Al Husayn-asws, and Rasool-Allah-saww had instructed with that’’.[27]
وَ قَالَ ع إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمُ النَّوْمَ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ لْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي لِلَّهِ عَلَى مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ وَلَايَةِ مَنِ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ طَاعَتَهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ وَ مَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ
And he-asws said: ‘When one of you wants to sleep, let him place his right hand under his right cheek, and let him say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! I am placing my side for Allah-azwj being upon nation (religion) of Ibrahim-as, and religion of Muhammad-saww, and Wilayah of the one Allah‑azwj has Imposed obedience to him-asws. Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires, happens, and whatever He-azwj does not Desire does not happen’.
فَمَنْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ حُفِظَ مِنَ اللِّصِّ وَ الْمُغِيرِ وَ الْهَدْمِ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَتْ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ
The one who says that at his sleep time will be protected from the theft, and the changes, and the demolishing, and the Angels seek Forgiveness for him.
وَ مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ حِينَ يَأْخُذُ مَضْجَعَهُ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَحْرُسُونَهُ لَيْلَتَهُ.

‘From Ali-asws having said to a man from the clan of Sa’ad: ‘Shall I-asws narrate to you from Me-asws and from Fatima-asws? She-asws was with me-asws, and she-asws was from the most beloved of his-saww family to him-saww.
وَ أَنَّهَا اسْتَقَتْ بِالْقِرْبَةِ حَتَّى أَثَّرَ فِي صَدْرِهَا وَ طَحَنَتْ بِالرَّحَى حَتَّى مَجِلَتْ يَدَاهَا وَ كَسَحَتِ الْبَيْتَ حَتَّى اغْبَرَّتْ ثِيَابُهَا وَ أَوْقَدَتِ النَّارَ تَحْتَ الْقِدْرِ حَتَّى دَكِنَتْ ثِيَابُهَا فَأَصَابَهَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ ضَرَرٌ شَدِيدٌ
She-asws drew the water with the water skin until it impacted in her-asws chest, and she-asws ground with the mill until her-asws hand’s skin peeled off, and she swept the house until her-asws clothes changed (colour), and she-asws ignited the fire beneath the pot until her-asws clothes darkened. She-asws was afflicted by severe harm from that.
فَقُلْتُ لَهَا لَوْ أَتَيْتِ أَبَاكِ فَسَأَلْتِهِ خَادِماً يَكْفِيكِ حَرَّ مَا أَنْتِ فِيهِ مِنْ هَذَا الْعَمَلِ
I-asws said to her-asws: ‘If you-asws could go to your-asws father-saww and ask him-saww for a maid to suffice you-asws the heat of what you-asws are in, from this work!’
فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ص فَوَجَدَتْ عِنْدَهُ حُدَّاثاً فَاسْتَحَتْ وَ انْصَرَفَتْ
She-asws came to the Prophet-saww. She-asws found youths in his-saww presence. So she-as was embarrassed and she-asws left’.
قَالَ فَعَلِمَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ لِحَاجَةٍ
He-asws said: ‘The Prophet-saww knew she-asws had come for a need’.

Then he-saww said: ‘The greetings be upon you-asws!’ We-asws were silent. Then he-saww said: ‘The greetings be upon you-asws!’ We-asws feared that if we-asws do not respond to him-saww, he-saww will leave, and he-saww had already done that greeting thrice. So either we-asws permit him-saww or else he-saww will leave.

I-asws said: ‘And upon you-saww be the greetings, O Rasool-Allah-saww, enter!’

He-saww did not repeat to sit by our-asws heads. He-saww said: ‘O Fatima-asws! What was your-asws need yesterday with Muhammad-saww?’’
قَالَ فَخَشِيتُ إِنْ لَمْ نُجِبْهُ أَنْ يَقُومَ
He-asws said: ‘I-asws feared that if we-asws do not answer him-as, he-saww would stand up’.

وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَأْخُذُ مَضْجَعَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَلَا فَقَهَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بَطَنَ فَخَبَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَلَكَ فَقَدَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَ يُمِيتُ الْأَحْيَاءَ- وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ خَرَجَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ.
And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘One who says three times when taking to his bed, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Whom is Exalted, so He-azwj Subdued, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who is Hidden so He-azwj is Informed, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Owns so He-azwj is Powerful, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Revises the dead causes the living to die, and He-azwj is Able upon all things’ – will exit from the sins (and be) like the day his mother had given him birth’’.[47]
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ وُقِيَ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ فِي الْفَزَعِ وَ إِنْ فَزِعْتَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقُلْ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ- أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَ مِنْ عِقَابِهِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَ مِنْ هَمَزاتِ الشَّياطِينِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ
From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘One who recites: The augmentation diverts you [102:1] (Al-Takaasur) at his sleep time will be saved from Fitna of the grave during the panic, and if you panic from the night, then say ten times, ‘I seek Refuge with Phrases of Allah-azwj from His‑azwj Wrath, and from His-azwj Punishment and from evil of His-azwj servants, from the suggestions of the Satans [23:97] And I seek refuge with You, Lord, from their presence [23:98].
فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِهِ وَ اقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ إِذْ يُغَشِّيكُمُ النُّعاسَ أَمَنَةً مِنْهُ وَ جَعَلْنا نَوْمَكُمْ سُباتاً.
The Prophet-saww used to instruct with it, and recite Ayat Al Kursy, When He Covered you with the drowsiness as a security from Him, [8:11] And We Made your sleep to be rest [78:9]’’.[48]
فِي مَنْ خَافَ مِنَ اللُّصُوصِ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمُ النَّوْمَ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ لْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي لِلَّهِ عَلَى مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع وَ دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص- وَ وَلَايَةِ مَنِ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ طَاعَتَهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ وَ مَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Regarding the one who fears from the thieves, Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Whenever one of you wants to sleep, let him place his right hand under his right cheek, and let him say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! I have placed my side for Allah-azwj upon the religion of Ibrahim-as and religion of Muhammad-saww and Wilayah of the one the obedience to him-asws is Imposed by Allah-azwj. Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires, happens, and whatever He-azwj does not Desire does not happen. I testify that Allah-azwj is Able upon all things’.
فَإِنَّ مَنْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ حُفِظَ مِنَ اللِّصِّ وَ الْهَدْمِ وَ تَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عِنْدَ مَضْجَعِهِ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَمْسِينَ مَلَكاً يَحْرُسُونَهُ لَيْلَتَهُ.
The one who says that at his sleep time will be protected from the thief, and the demolishing, and the Angels will seek Forgiveness for him, and the one who recites: Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed) by his bed, Allah-azwj will Allocate fifty Angels with him protect him during his night’’.[49]
رُوِيَ أَنَّ مَنْ خَافَ اللُّصُوصَ فَلْيَقْرَأْ عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ- قُلِ ادْعُوا اللَّهَ أَوِ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمنَ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ.
It is reported that the one who fears the thieves, let him recite at his sleep time, Say: ‘Supplicate to Allah or supplicate to the Beneficent. [17:110] – up to end of the Chapter’’.[50]
فِي الِاحْتِلَامِ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا خِفْتَ الْجَنَابَةَ فَقُلْ فِي فِرَاشِكَ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الِاحْتِلَامِ وَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْأَحْلَامِ وَ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَلَاعَبَ بِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ وَ الْمَنَامِ
In (the book) ‘Al Ihtilam’ –
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘When you fear the sexual impurity, then say in your bed, ‘O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the wet dreams, and from the evil of wet dreams, and from the Satan-la playing with me during the wakefulness and the sleep’.
وَ مَنْ خَافَ الْأَرَقَ فَإِذَا خِفْتَ الْأَرَقَ فَقُلْ عِنْدَ مَنَامِكَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ذِي الشَّأْنِ دَائِمِ السُّلْطَانِ عَظِيمِ الْبُرْهَانِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ
And the one who fear the swearing – ‘When you fear the insomnia, then says at your sleep time, ‘Glory be for Allah-azwj with the permanent Authority, Mighty Proof. Every day He-azwj is in a state of Glory’.
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا مُشْبِعَ الْبُطُونِ الْجَائِعَةِ يَا كَاسِيَ الْجُنُوبِ الْعَارِيَةِ يَا مُسَكِّنَ الْعُرُوقِ الضَّارِبَةِ يَا مُنَوِّمَ الْعُيُونِ السَّاهِرَةِ سَكِّنْ عُرُوقِيَ الضَّارِبَةَ وَ ائْذَنْ لِعَيْنِي نَوْماً عَاجِلًا آخَرُ اقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ إِذْ يُغَشِّيكُمُ النُّعاسَ أَمَنَةً مِنْهُ وَ جَعَلْنا نَوْمَكُمْ سُباتاً
Then he should say, ‘O satiator of the hungry bellies! O Clother of the bare sides! O Calmer of the striking veins! O Drowser of the watchful eyes, calm down my striking veins, and Permit sleep for my eyes quickly!’ And the end recite Ayat Al Kursy, and When He Covered you with the drowsiness as a security from Him, [8:11] And We Made your sleep to be rest [78:9]’.
فِي الْهَدْمِ فَإِذَا خِفْتَ الْهَدْمَ عِنْدَ الزَّلْزَلَةِ فَاقْرَأْ عِنْدَ مَنَامِكَ- إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا وَ لَئِنْ زالَتا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُما مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً
Regarding the demolition – ‘When you fear the demolition during the earthquake, then recited at your sleep time, ‘Surely, Allah Withholds the skies and the earth lest they cease. And if they were to cease, no one can withhold these from after Him. He was always Lenient, Forgiving’ [35:41].
لِلنُّعَاسِ وَ لَمَّا جاءَ مُوسى لِمِيقاتِنا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ أَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَ يَمْسَحُ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ وَ وَجْهَهُ وَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ
For the drowsiness – And when Musa came to Our Appointment – up to His-azwj Words: I am the first of the Momineen’ [7:143]. He should recite upon the water and wipe his head and his face and his forearms with it.
لِمَنْ بَالَ فِي النَّوْمِ أَوْ فَزِعَ فِيهِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الْعَرَبِيِّ الْهَاشِمِيِّ الْقُرَشِيِّ الْمَدَنِيِّ الْأَبْطَحِيِّ التِّهَامِيِّ إِلَى مَنْ حَضَرَ الدَّارَ مِنَ الْعُمَّارِ

أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ لَنَا وَ لَكُمْ فِي الْحَقِّ سَعَةً فَإِنْ يَكُنْ فَاجِراً مُقْتَحِماً أَوْ دَاعِي حَقٍّ مُبْطِلًا أَوْ مَنْ يُؤْذِي الْوِلْدَانَ وَ يُفْزِعُ الصِّبْيَانَ وَ يُبْكِيهِمْ وَ يُبَوِّلُهُمْ فِي الْفِرَاشِ
As for after, there is leeway for us-asws and you all regarding the truth. If he happens to be immoral, intrusive, caller to falsify a right, or the one who hurts the children, and frightening the children and making them cry, and making them urinate in the bed.
فَلْتَمْضُوا إِلَى أَصْحَابِ الْأَصْنَامِ وَ إِلَى عَبَدَةِ الْأَوْثَانِ وَ لْتَخْلُوا عَنْ أَصْحَابِ الْقُرْآنِ فِي جِوَارِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ مَخَازِي الشَّيْطَانِ وَ عَنْ إِيمَانِهِمُ الْقُرْآنَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِ
(O Jinn)! Go to owners of the idols, and to worshippers of the images, and stay away from companions of the Quran in the vicinity of the Beneficent, and (go to) disgraceful acts of the Satan-la, and from their belief in the Quran’, and send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, the Prophet-saww’.
لِلْفَزَعِ أَيْضاً شَهِدَ اللَّهُ الْآيَةَ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ- قُلِ ادْعُوا اللَّهَ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ وَ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الْآيَةَ- لَقَدْ جاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ
For panic as well – ‘Allah Testifies [3:18] – the Verse, and Ayat Al Kursy, and: Say: ‘Supplicate to Allah or supplicate to the Beneficent. [17:110] – up to end of the Chapter, Surely, your Lord is Allah, [10:3] – the Verse. There has come to you a Rasool from yourselves. [9:128] – up to the end of the Chapter.
قُلْ مَنْ يَكْلَؤُكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهارِ مِنَ الرَّحْمنِ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ وَ الْجِنِّ وَ السَّحَرَةِ قُلِ اللَّهُ خالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ هُوَ الْواحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ الْيَوْمَ تُجْزى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِما كَسَبَتْ لا ظُلْمَ الْيَوْمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسابِ لِمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ لِلَّهِ الْواحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ.
Say: ‘Who can protect you by the night and the day from the Beneficent? [21:42] – from the wild animals, and the Jinn, and the sorcerers. Say: ‘Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme’ [13:16]. Today every soul shall be Recompensed for whatever it has earned. There shall be no injustice today. Surely, Allah is Quick in Reckoning [40:17] “For whom is the Kingdom today? For Allah, the One, the Subduer!” [40:16]’’.[51]
13- فس، تفسير القمي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى- إِنَّمَا النَّجْوى مِنَ الشَّيْطانِ لِيَحْزُنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ لَيْسَ بِضارِّهِمْ شَيْئاً إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
Tafseer Al Qummi – from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said regarding Words of the Exalted: But rather, the secret counsels are from the Satan, for him to grieve those who believe, and he cannot harm them of anything except by Permission of Allah, therefore the Momineen should rely upon Allah [58:10]: –
إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ ع رَأَتْ فِي مَنَامِهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص هَمَّ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ هُوَ وَ فَاطِمَةُ وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ
(Syeda) Fatima-asws saw in her-asws dream that Rasool-Allah-saww decided that he-saww, and Fatima-asws, and Ali-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al Husayn-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws, should go out from Al Medina.
فَخَرَجُوا حَتَّى جَاوَزُوا مِنْ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَتَعَرَّضَ لَهُمْ طَرِيقَانِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى بِهِمْ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ فِيهِ نَخْلٌ وَ مَاءٌ
They-asws went out until they crossed the walls of Al Medina. Two paths presented to them-asws, so Rasool-Allah-azwj took the one on the right until he-saww ended with them-asws to a place wherein were date trees and water.
فَاشْتَرَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص شَاةً كَبْراءَ وَ هِيَ الَّتِي فِي أَحَدِ أُذُنَيْهَا نُقَطٌ بِيضٌ فَأَمَرَ بِذَبْحِهَا فَلَمَّا أَكَلُوا مَاتُوا فِي مَكَانِهِمْ
Rasool-Allah-saww bought a large sheep, and it is which there was a white spot in one of its earths. He-saww instructed for it to be slaughtered. When they-asws ate, they died in their-asws very places.
فَانْتَبَهَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بَاكِيَةً ذَعِرَةً فَلَمْ تُخْبِرْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بِذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَتْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِحِمَارٍ فَأَرْكَبَ عَلَيْهِ فَاطِمَةَ ع- وَ أَمَرَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ- مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا رَأَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع فِي نَوْمِهَا
(Syeda) Fatima-asws woke up suddenly, weeping, in trepidation. She-asws did not inform Rasool-Allah‑saww with that. When it was morning, Rasool-Allah-saww came with a donkey, so (Syeda) Fatima‑asws rode upon it, and he-saww instructed that Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and Al-Hassan‑asws, and Al-Husayn-asws should come out, from Al Medina, just as (Syeda) Fatima-asws had seen in her-asws sleep.
فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا مِنْ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ عَرَضَ لَهُ طَرِيقَانِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ كَمَا رَأَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع- حَتَّى انْتَهَوْا إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ فِيهِ نَخْلٌ وَ مَاءٌ
Whey they-asws went out from the walls of Medina, two paths presented to him-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww took the one on the right just as (Syeda) Fatima-asws had seen, until they-asws ended to a place wherein were date trees and water.
فَاشْتَرَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص شَاةً كَمَا رَأَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع- فَأَمَرَ بِذَبْحِهَا فَذُبِحَتْ وَ شُوِيَتْ فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَكْلَهَا قَامَتْ فَاطِمَةُ وَ تَنَحَّتْ نَاحِيَةً مِنْهُمْ تَبْكِي مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَمُوتُوا
Rasool-Allah-saww bought a sheep, just as (Syeda) Fatima-asws had seen. He-saww instructed to slaughter it. It was slaughtered it and grilled. When they-asws intended to eat it, Fatima-asws stood up and went aside to a corner from them, crying, fearing that they-asws will be dying.
فَطَلَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا وَ هِيَ تَبْكِي- فَقَالَ ص مَا شَأْنُكِ يَا بُنَيَّةِ
Rasool-Allah-saww searched for her-asws, until he came across her-asws and she-asws was crying. He-saww said: ‘What is your-asws concern, O daughter-asws?’
قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فِي نَوْمِي وَ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ أَنْتَ كَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فَتَنَحَّيْتُ عَنْكُمْ لِئَلَّا أَرَاكُمْ تَمُوتُونَ
She-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Last night I-asws saw such and such during my-asws sleep, and you-saww have done just as I-asws had seen, therefore I-asws stepped aside from you-asws all lest I‑asws see you-asws all dying!’
فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ نَاجَى رَبَّهُ فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا شَيْطَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا الدَّهَاءُ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَرَى فَاطِمَةَ هَذِهِ الرُّؤْيَا وَ يُؤْذِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي نَوْمِهِمْ مَا يَغْتَمُّونَ بِهِ
Rasool-Allah-saww stood up. He-saww prayed two Cycles Salat, then he-saww whispered to his-saww Lord-azwj. Jibraeel-as descended unto him-saww. He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! This is Satan-la called al Daha’a-la, and he-la is the one who had shown Fatima-asws this dream, and he-la tends to hurt the Momineen in their sleep what they are saddened with’.
فَأَمَرَ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِهِ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ أَنْتَ أَرَيْتَ فَاطِمَةَ هَذِهِ الرُّؤْيَا
Jibraeel-as instructed with him-la, so he-la was brought to Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww said to him: ‘Are you-la the one who showed (Syeda) Fatima-asws this dream?’
فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ
He-la said, ‘Yes, O Muhammad-saww!’
فَبَزَقَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ بَزَقَاتٍ وَ شَجَّهُ فِي ثَلَاثِ مَوَاضِعَ
He-saww spat upon him-la three spittle’s and he-la was broken down in three places.
ثُمَّ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ قُلْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ فِي مَنَامِكَ شَيْئاً تَكْرَهُهُ أَوْ رَأَى أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِمَا عَاذَتْ بِهِ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ أَنْبِيَاءُ اللَّهِ الْمُرْسَلُونَ وَ عِبَادُهُ الصَّالِحُونَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ رُؤْيَايَ
Then Jibraeel-as said to Muhammad-saww: ‘Say, O Muhammad-saww! Whenever you-saww see anything in your dream you-saww dislike, of one of the Momineen sees, let him say, ‘I seek Refuge with what hurts the Angels of Proximity of Allah-azwj, and the Messenger-as Prophets-as of Allah-azwj, and righteous ones of His-azwj servants, from the evil what I have seen from my dream’.
وَ يَقْرَأُ الْحَمْدَ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ يَتْفُلُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثُ تَفَلَاتٍ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَضُرُّهُ مَا رَأَى
And he should recited (Surahs) ‘Al Hamd’, and ‘Al Mawazateyn’, and ‘Al Ikhlaas’, and he should spit on his left three spittle’s, so whatever he had seen will not harm him.
وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ إِنَّمَا النَّجْوى مِنَ الشَّيْطانِ الْآيَةَ.
And Allah-azwj Revealed unto His-azwj Rasool-saww: ‘But rather, the secret counsels are from the Satan, [58:10] – the Verse’’.(Derogatory and inconclusive)[52]

أَقُولُ قَدْ مَضَى فِي فَضَائِلِ السُّوَرِ مُسْنَداً عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقْرَأُ قُلْ إِنَّما أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يُوحى إِلَيَ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ نُوراً مِنْ مَضْجَعِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ الْحَرَامِ فَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ اللَّهِ الْحَرَامِ كَانَ لَهُ نُوراً إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ.
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It has passed in merits of the images, attributed,
‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘There is none from a servant who recites: Say: ‘But rather, I am a human being like you. He Reveals unto me [18:110] – up to the end of the Chapter, except there will be a Noor for him, from his bed to the Sacred House of Allah-azwj. If he were to be from the Sacred House of Allah-azwj, there will be Noor for him up to Bayt Al Maqdis’’.[54]

And he-saww, from what he-saww said when he-saww woke up: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Caused me-saww to live after my-saww death! My-saww Lord-azwj if Forgiving, Appreciative’.
وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ ص اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ نُورَهُ وَ هُدَاهُ وَ بَرَكَتَهُ وَ طَهُورَهُ وَ مُعَافَاتَهُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهُ وَ خَيْرَ مَا فِيهِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَ شَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ.
And he-saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj! I-saww ask You-azwj for good of this day, and its Noor, and its guidance, and its Blessings, and its cleanliness, and its well-being. O Allah-azwj! I-saww ask You‑azwj for its good, and good of whatever is in it, and I-saww seek Refuge from its evil, and evil of what is after it’’.[65]

And one who wants to wake up for the Salat – From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘One who wants to stand at night and take to his bed, let him say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Do not Make me feel safe of Your-azwj Plan, nor Make me forget Your-azwj Zikr, nor Make me to be from the heedless ones. I want to wake up and such and such time’, Allah-azwj will Allocate and Angel with him to wake him up at that time.

And Rasool-Allah-saww brushed his-saww teeth when he-saww wanted to sleep and take to his bed, and when he-saww sheltered to his-saww bed, he-saww would lied down upon the right side and place his-saww right hand under his-saww right cheek’’.[67]

And from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Whenever one of you shelters to his bed, let him wipe an edge of his undergarment, for he does not know what has occurred upon him. Then let him say, ‘O Allah-azwj! If You-azwj were to Withhold my soul, then Forgive it, and if You-azwj were to Send it (back), then Protect it with what You-azwj Protect Your-azwj righteous servants with!’
فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَقْتَ الِانْتِبَاهِ وَ كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا قَامَ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ أَهْلُ الدَّارِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى هَوْلِ الْمُطَّلَعِ وَ وَسِّعْ عَلَيَّ الْمُضْطَجِعَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي خَيْرَ مَا قَبْلَ الْمَوْتِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي خَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ.
Regarding the supplication at the time of waking up – And Abu Abdullah-asws, when he-asws stood at the end of the night, would raise his-asws voice to the extent that people of the house would hear him-asws saying: ‘O Allah-azwj! Assist me-asws upon the emerging terror, and Expand my-asws lying place (grave) upon me-asws, and Grace me-asws goodness of what is before the death and Grace me-asws goodness of what is after the death’’.[68]

وَ كَانَ ص إِذَا رَاعَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي مَنَامِهِ قَالَ هُوَ اللَّهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ
And whenever something scared him-saww in his-saww dream, he-saww said: ‘He-azwj is Allah-azwj! There is no associate for Him-azwj!’
وَ كَانَ ص كَثِيرَ الرُّؤْيَا وَ لَا يَرَى رُؤْيَا إِلَّا جَاءَتْ مِثْلَ فَلَقِ الصُّبْحِ وَ كَانَ ص إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي يُحْيِ الْمَوْتى وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
And he-saww was with a lot of dreams, and he-saww did not see any dream except it came like a piece of the morning; and when he-saww woke up from his-saww sleep, he-saww would say: ‘Glorious is the One-azwj Who Revives the dead and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’
وَ إِذَا قَامَ لِلصَّلَاةِ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نُورُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ قَيُّومِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَنْ فِيهِنَّ أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ وَ لِقَاؤُكَ الْحَقُّ وَ الْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ وَ النَّارُ حَقٌّ وَ السَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ

The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made the night and the day interchanging, for the one who wants to be reminded, or wants to be thankful. The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made the night as a covering, and the sleep as rest, and Made the day for livelihood. There is no god except You-azwj! Glory be to You-azwj!

Another supplication – ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who will Revive me after Causing me to die, and to Him-azwj is the Resurrection. The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who has Returned my soul unto me so I can praise Him-azwj and worship Him-azwj’’.[71]
21- مكا، مكارم الأخلاق الدُّعَاءُ فِي الْوَحْدَةِ- يَا أَرْضُ رَبِّي وَ رَبُّكِ اللَّهُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّكِ وَ شَرِّ مَا فِيكِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خُلِقَ فِيكِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يُحَاذَرُ عَلَيْكِ
(The book) ‘Makarim Al Akhlaq’ –
‘The supplication regarding the loneliness – ‘O earth! My Lord-azwj and your Lord-azwj is Allah‑azwj! I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from your evil, and evil of what is in you, and from evil of what is Created in you, and from evil of He-azwj has Cautioned upon you!
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ أَسَدٍ وَ أَسْوَدَ وَ حَيَّةٍ وَ عَقْرَبٍ مِنْ سَاكِنِ الْبَلَدِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ وَالِدٍ وَ مَا وَلَدَ أَ فَغَيْرَ دِينِ اللَّهِ يَبْغُونَ وَ لَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ طَوْعاً وَ كَرْهاً وَ إِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بِنِعْمَتِهِ وَ حُسْنِ بَلَائِهِ عَلَيْنَا
I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from evil of every lion, and predator, and snake, and scorpion, from dwellers of the city, and from evil of a parent and what he begets. Is it other than Allah’s Religion they are seeking? And to Him submit the ones is in the skies and the earth, willingly and unwillingly, and to Him they would be returning [3:83]. The Praise is for Allah-azwj for His-azwj bounties and goodness of His-azwj Afflictions upon us!

O Allah-azwj! Be our Companion in the journey, and Grace upon us, for there is neither any might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’

The he should recited (Surah) ‘Al Takasur’ up to its end. Nothing will harm him, from the wild animals, and the insects, and the snakes, and the scorpions when he recites that, and even if he were to spend the night upon the snake, by the Permission of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[72]

(The book) ‘Jamie Al Akhbar’ –
‘It is reported from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘One who says when he shelters to his bed, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, the Living, the Eternal, and I repent to Him-azwj’ – three times, Allah-azwj will Forgive his sins and even if these were like foam of the sea, and even if these were of number of leaves of the tree, and even if these were a number of grains of sand of a desert, and even if these were a number of days of the world’’.[73]

(The book) ‘Falah Al Sa’ail’ – When you want to sleep, then cleanse like your cleaning for the Salat, then stand to your bed, or place of your sleep, and say when you shelter to your bed what we are reporting by our chain from Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qummi, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al Saffar, from Ibn Isa, from Usman Bin Isa, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘You should say when sheltering to your bed, ‘I seek Refuge with the Mighty of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Power of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Perfection of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Authority of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Force of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Defence of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Gathering of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Kingdom of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Mercy of Allah-azwj!

And I seek Refuge with Rasool-Allah-saww from the evil of what is Created, and scattering and land, and from evil of the general and the special, and from evil of mischievous Jinn and the humans, and from evil of mischief of the Arabs and the non-Arabs, and from evil of every animal during the night and day. You-azwj will Seize (them) with their forelocks, My-azwj Lord‑azwj is upon the Straight Path and Gives Refuge from one He-azwj so Desires!’’[74]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And it is reported from Muhammad Bin Al Najjar, from the book ‘Al Tazeyl’, in a translation of Hamza Bin Ali Bin Usman Al Qureyshi Al Makhzumy, by his chain, said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww, whenever he-saww went on a military expedition or a journey, so the night came across him-as, would say: ‘O earth! My-saww Lord-azwj and your Lord-azwj is Allah-azwj!

I-saww seek Refuge from evil of every lion and wild animal, and snake and scorpion, from dwellers of the city, and from evil of a father and what he begets’’.[75]
أَقُولُ وَ لْيَكُنْ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْقَلَانِسِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً حِينَ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُهُ وَ شُفِّعَ فِي جِيرَانِهِ فَإِنْ قَرَأَهَا مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ غُفِرَ ذَنْبُهُ فِيمَا يُسْتَقْبَلُ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً.
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And let it be from his deed, when he shelters to his bed, what is reported by Muhammad Bi Al-Hassan Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, from Ali Bin Ismail, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Al Qalanisy, from Abu Baseer who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘One who recites Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed) eleven times when he shelters to his bed, his sins will be Forgiven for him, and he will (be able to) intercede for his neighbour. If he were to recite it one hundred times, his sins will be Forgiven, in the forthcoming fifty years’’.[76]
وَ تَقُولُ إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ أَيْضاً مَا رَوَاهُ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّيْتُونِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ الْخَيَّاطِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ
And you should say when you shelter to your bed, as well what is reported by Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, from Ja’far Bin Suleyman Al Qummi, from Ismail Bin Muhammad Al Zaytouni, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al Asady, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ali Al Khayyat, from Yahya Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Usman, from a man,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says when he shelters to his bed, ‘O Allah-azwj! I Keep You-azwj as Witness that You-azwj have Obligated upon me obedience to Ali‑asws Bin Abu Talib‑asws and the Imams-asws from his-asws sons-asws’ – and he should name them-asws one by one until he ends up to the Imam-asws of his era, then he dies during that night, will enter the Paradise’.

Mention of situation of the servant when he sleeps in front of his master – ‘When you were to say what we mention, during the sitting in your bed, or place of your sleep, so mention you are an owned slave, insignificant intending to sleep, and extend your legs and unroll in the movement and the stillness in front of the Mighty King, Great, so be polite in the words and deeds.
فَمَهْمَا تَأَدَّبْتَ وَ تَذَلَّلْتَ كَانَ مَوْلَاكَ لَهُ أَهْلًا وَ كُنْتَ أَصْغَرَ وَ أَحْقَرَ مَحَلًّا وَ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الْأَيْمَنِ بِالاسْتِسْلَامِ وَ التَّفْوِيضِ وَ التَّوَكُّلِ وَ كُلِّ مَا يَلِيقُ بِذَلِكَ الْمَقَامِ.
No matter how polite you are and humble, your Master-azwj is rightful of it, and you will be the smallest, and of the lowliest place; and lie down upon your right side with the submission and the delegating (the affairs to Allah-azwj, and the reliance, and all what is related with that place’’.[77]

And say what we are reporting by our chain, from Ahmad Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Ibn Uqdah, from Yahya Bin Zakariya Bin Shayban, from his book, in (the month) of Al Muharram of the year two hundred and sixty seven, from Al Batainy, from his father, and Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala Al Zanady, all from Abu Baseer who said,
‘When you shelter for your bed, then lie down upon your right side, and say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah-azwj, and in the Way of Allah-azwj, and upon the religion of Rasool-Allah‑saww!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَ فَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَ أَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَهْبَةً وَ رَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ- لَا مَلْجَأَ وَ لَا مَنْجَى مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ
O Allah-azwj! I have submitted myself to You-azwj and have diverted my face to You-azwj, and delegated my affairs to You-azwj, and sheltered my back to You-azwj, dreading and desiring to You-azwj. There is neither any shelter nor rescue from You-azwj except to You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ آمَنْتُ بِكُلِّ كِتَابٍ أَنْزَلْتَهُ وَ بِكُلِّ رَسُولٍ أَرْسَلْتَهُ
O Allah-azwj! I have believed in the whole Book You-azwj have Revealed, and in every Messenger‑as You-azwj have Sent!’

Then you should recite: Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed), and Ayat Al Kursy three times, and Ayat Al Sukhra (7:54 to 56), and Allah Testifies [3:18], and (Surah) Al Qadr eleven times, there he should exclaim Takbeer four times thirty-four times, and glorify thirty-three times, and praise thirty-three times, and it is the glorification of Al Zahra Fatima-asws which Rasool-Allah-saww had taught her-asws.
ثُمَّ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ- لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ- يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
The say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, the Kingdom is for Him-azwj and the Praise is Praise. He-azwj Causes to live and Causes to die, and He-azwj is Living, He-azwj will not be dying. The good is in His-azwj Hand, and He-saww is Able upon all things’.
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّماءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ- مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ وَ ذَرَأَ وَ بَرَأَ وَ أَنْشَأَ وَ صَوَّرَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ شِرْكِهِ وَ قَوْمِهِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ شَيَاطِينِ الْإِنْسِ وَ الْجِنِّ
Then you should say, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj Who Withholds the sky from falling upon the earth, except by His Permission? Surely Allah, with the people, is Kind, Merciful [22:65], from evil of what is Created, and scattering and land, and grows, and images are from the evil of Satan-la, and his-la associates, and his-la people, and from evil of Satans-la of the humans and the Jinn.
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ شَرِّ السَّامَّةِ وَ الْهَامَّةِ وَ اللَّامَّةِ وَ الْحَاصَّةِ- وَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَ ما يَعْرُجُ فِيها وَ مِنْ شَرِّ طَوَارِقِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ إِلَّا طَارِقاً يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرَّحْمَنِ أَسْتَغِيثُ وَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ- حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ.
I seek Refuge with the complete Phrases of Allah-azwj, from the evil of fatal toxins, and non-fatal toxins, and the blame-worthy, and burning, and from evil of descends from the sky and what ascends in it, and from evil of the comers at night and night, except a knocker knocking with goodness with Allah-azwj, and with the Beneficent, and I seek Help and have relied upon him. Allah-azwj Suffices me and is the best Protector’’.[78]

Then you should use your right hand as a pillow and you should say what we are reporting by our chain, from Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ibn Isa, from his father, from A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘When the man uses his right hand as a pillow, let him say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj!

I have believed in the Book which You-azwj have Revealed, and Your-azwj Rasool-saww whom You‑azwj had Sent!’ Then he should glorify with the glorification (Tasbeeh) of Fatima-asws’’.[79]
وَ تَقُولُ أَيْضاً حِينَ تَأْخُذُ مَضْجَعَكَ مَا رَوَاهُ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَأْخُذُ مَضْجَعَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَلَا فَقَهَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بَطَنَ فَخَبَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَلَكَ فَقَدَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُحْيِ الْمَوْتى وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ كَانَ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ كَهَيْئَةِ يَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ.
And you should say as well and you take to your bed, what is reported by Al Saffar, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq, from Bakr Bin Muhammad,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says when he takes to his bed, three times, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who is Exalted, so He-azwj Subdued, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who is Hidden so He-azwj is Informed, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Owns so He-azwj is Powerful, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Revises the dead causes the living to die, and He-azwj is Able upon all things’ – will exit from the sins (and be) like the day his mother had given him birth’’.[80]
أَقُولُ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَكُنْ كَمَمْلُوكٍ أَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ مَمَالِيكِ اللَّهِ إِذَا نَامَ بِالْإِذْنِ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ الْأَدَبِ مَعَ اللَّهِ وَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ بِوَجْهِهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ تَوَسَّدَ يَمِينَهُ عَلَى صِفَاتِ الثَّكْلَى الْوَاضِعَةِ يَدَهَا عَلَى خَدِّهَا فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ ثَكِلَ كَثِيراً مِمَّا يُقَرِّبُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And if you so desire, then he should be like a slave I know of from the slaves of Allah-azwj, when he sleeps with the Permission from Allah-azwj, and the etiquettes with Allah-azwj, and he should face the Qiblah by his face to Allah-azwj, and use his right hand as a pillow upon a slap of the bereaves, the one placing her hand upon her cheek, for it is a lot of bereavement from what draws closer to Allah-azwj.
وَ يَقْصِدُ بِتِلْكَ النَّوْمَةِ أَنْ يَتَقَوَّى بِهَا فِي الْيَقَظَةِ عَلَى طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى مَا يُرَادُ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَالِ مِنَ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ وَ الذِّلَّةِ لِلَّهِ وَ كَأَنَّ جَبَلَ ذُنُوبِ قَلْبِهِ قَدْ رُفِعَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ لِيَسْقُطَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ يَدِ غَضَبِ اللَّهِ كَمَا جَرَى لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَيْثُ قَالَ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ- وَ إِذْ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ
And he should aim with that sleep to be strengthened by it during the wakefulness upon obedience of Allah-azwj, and upon what is intended in that state from the servitude and the humbling to Allah-azwj, and as if there is a mountain of sins of his heart is raised upon his head in order to fall upon him from a Hand of Wrath of Allah-azwj, just as it had flowed for the children of Israel. Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majestic: And when We Shook the mountain above them as if it was a shade, [7:171].
فَإِنَّ أُولَئِكَ ذَلُّوا وَ اسْتَسْلَمُوا لِذَلِكَ خَوْفاً مِنْ سُقُوطِ الْجَبَلِ عَلَى الْحَيَاةِ الْفَانِيَةِ وَ جَبَلُ الذُّنُوبِ يَخَافُ صَاحِبُهُ أَنْ يَسْقُطَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُهْلِكَ جَمِيعَ حَيَاتِهِ وَ سَعَادَتِهِ الْفَانِيَةِ وَ الْبَاقِيَةِ
They were humbled and submitted to that, fearing from the falling mountain upon the perishing life, and the mountain of sins its owner fears from falling upon him, so his entire life and his happiness will be destroyed, the temporal and lasting.
وَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَمْلُوكَ إِذَا تَوَسَّدَ يَمِينَهُ قَرَأَ الْحَمْدَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مَرَّةً
And this slave, when he uses his right hand as a pillow, should recite (Surah) Al Hamd three times, then he should recite, Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed) eleven ties, then recite Surah Al Takasur once, then recited (Surah) Al Kafiroun three times, then (Surah) Al Falaq three times, then (Surah) Al Naas three times, then recited Ayat Al Kursy once.
ثُمَّ قَرَأَ شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ آخِرَ الْحَشْرِ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ لَوْ أَنْزَلْنا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا وَ لَئِنْ زالَتا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُما مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً-
The recite Allah Testifies that there is no god except Him [3:18] – up to end of the Verse. Then recited end of (Surah) Al Hashr, from His-azwj Words: Had We Revealed [59:21], then recite, Surely Allah Withholds the skies and the earth lest they cease. And if they were to cease, no one can withhold these from after Him. He was always Lenient, Forgiving [35:41].
ثُمَّ قَرَأَ آيَةَ السُّخْرَةِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ إِلَى آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ أَوَاخِرَ الْكَهْفِ قُلْ إِنَّما أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ
Then recite Ayat Al Sukhra (7:54 to 56), then recite, (Allah Said): “The Rasool believes [2:285] – up to the end of Surah Al Baqarah, then recite end of (Surah) Al Kahf, ‘But rather, I am a human being like you. [18:110] – up to the end of the Surah.
ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُؤْمِنِّي مَكْرَكَ وَ لَا تُنْسِنِي ذِكْرَكَ وَ لَا تَوَلَّ عَنِّي وَجْهَكَ وَ لَا تَهْتِكْ عَنِّي سِتْرَكَ وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي عَلَى تَمَرُّدِي وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ وَ أَيْقِظْنِي مِنْ رَقْدَتِي وَ سَهِّلِ الْقِيَامَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فِي أَحَبِّ الْأَوْقَاتِ إِلَيْكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي فِيهَا ذِكْرَكَ وَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ الشُّكْرَ وَ الدُّعَاءَ حَتَّى أَسْأَلَكَ فَتُعْطِيَنِي وَ أَدْعُوَكَ فَتَسْتَجِيبَ لِي وَ أَسْتَغْفِرَكَ فَتَغْفِرَ لِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
The he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Do not Let me feel safe from Your-azwj Plan, not Let me forget Your-azwj Zikr, nor Turn Your-azwj Face away from me, nor Tear Your-azwj veil from me, nor Seize me upon my mutiny, nor Make me to be from the heedless ones, and Wake me up from my sleep, and Ease the standing during this night in the timing most Beloved to You-azwj, and Grace me Your-azwj Zikr during it, and the Salat, and the thanking, and the supplication, until I ask You-azwj, so You-azwj Give me, and I supplicate to You-azwj so You-azwj Answer to me, and I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness, so You-azwj Forgive me, surely You-azwj the Forgiving, the Merciful!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْخَوْفِ مِنَ الِاحْتِلَامِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الِاحْتِلَامِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْأَحْلَامِ وَ أَنْ يَلْعَبَ بِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ وَ الْمَنَامِ
Then say for the fearing from the wet dreams, ‘O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the wet dreams, and from evil of the wet dreams, and from the Satan-la to play with me during the wakefulness and the sleep’.
ثُمَّ قَرَأَ لِذَلِكَ- قُلْ مَنْ يَكْلَؤُكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهارِ مِنَ الرَّحْمنِ الْآيَةَ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ آخِرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ- قُلِ ادْعُوا اللَّهَ أَوِ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمنَ أَيًّا ما تَدْعُوا فَلَهُ الْأَسْماءُ الْحُسْنى وَ لا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاتِكَ وَ لا تُخافِتْ بِها وَ ابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذلِكَ سَبِيلًا- وَ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً
Then he should recite for that, Say: ‘Who can protect you by the night and the day from the Beneficent? [21:42] – Verse. Then he should recited end of (Surah) Banu Israeel: Say: ‘Supplicate to Allah or supplicate to the Beneficent. Whichever (Name) you supplicate with, so for Him are the most excellent Names. And neither be loud with your Salat nor be silent with it, and seek a way between that’ [17:110] And say: ‘The Praise is for Allah, Who did not Take a son, and there does not happen to be an associate for Him in the Kingdom, and there does not happen to be a Guardian for Him from the disgrace, and exclaim His Greatness with exclamations’ [17:111].
ثُمَّ يُسَبِّحُ تَسْبِيحَ الزَّهْرَاءِ ع وَ هُوَ آخِرُ مَا يَقُولُهُ عِنْدَ الْمَنَامِ وَ قَدْ رَوَى فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رِوَايَةً فِي فَضْلِ مَا اعْتَمَدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَتَّبَهُ كَمَا هَدَاهُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ إِلَيْهِ
Then he should glorify with glorification (Tasbeeh) of Al Zahra-asws, and it is the last of what he should be saying at sleep time, and it has been reported regarding all things from that report regarding the merit of what he should rely upon. Then he should arrange it just as Allah-azwj, Majesty is His-azwj Majestic has Guided him to.
وَ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا قَرَأَهُ فَوَائِدُ عَظِيمَةٌ يَطُولُ الْكِتَابُ بِإِيرَادِهَا وَ تَعْدَادِهَا وَ قَدْ رَوَيْنَا فِيمَا خَتَمَ بِهِ هَذَا الْمَمْلُوكُ عَمَلَهُ عِنْدَ الْمَنَامِ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِ الزَّهْرَاءِ فَاطِمَةَ ع- مَا رَوَيْتُهُ عَنْ جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ- عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي جِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ- عَنِ الشَّيْخِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ فِيمَا رَوَاهُ فِي كِتَابِ ثَوَابِ الْأَعْمَالِ.
And for all things from what he recites, there are mighty benefits, the book will be prolonged with its reports and its number, and we are reporting regarding that this slave should be ending his deed with at sleep time, from doing glorification (Tasbeeh) of Al Zahra Fatima-asws, what is reported from my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, from Ali Bin Abu Jeyyid, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from the sheykh Ja’far Bin Suleyman regarding what is reported in the book ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’’.[81]
قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا أَوَى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ وَ شَيْطَانٌ مَرِيدٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ اخْتِمْ يَوْمَكَ بِخَيْرٍ وَ افْتَحْ لَيْلَكَ بِخَيْرٍ وَ يَقُولُ لَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ اخْتِمْ يَوْمَكَ بِإِثْمٍ وَ افْتَحْ لَيْلَكَ بِإِثْمٍ
He said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Whenever one of you shelters to your bed, an honourable Angel and a renegade Satan-la rush to him. Then Angel says to him, ‘End your day with good and begin your night with good’, and the Satan-la says, ‘End your day with a sin and begin your night with a sin’’.
قَالَ فَإِنْ أَطَاعَ الْمَلَكَ الْكَرِيمَ وَ خَتَمَ يَوْمَهُ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَ فَتَحَ لَيْلَهُ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ وَ كَبَّرَ اللَّهَ أَرْبَعاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً وَ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثَلَاثاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً وَ سَبَّحَ اللَّهَ ثَلَاثاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً زَجَرَ الْمَلَكُ الشَّيْطَانَ
He-asws said: ‘If he were to obey the honourable Angel ends his day with Zikr of Allah-azwj and begins the Zikr of Allah-azwj. When he does Zikr of Allah-azwj when he takes to his bed and exclaims the Greatness of Allah-azwj thirty-four times, and praises Allah-azwj thirty-three times, and glorifies Allah-azwj thirty-three times, the Angels rebukes the Satan-la.
فَتَنَحَّى وَ كَلَأَهُ الْمَلَكُ حَتَّى يَنْتَبِهَ مِنْ رَقْدَتِهِ فَإِذَا انْتَبَهَ ابْتَدَرَهُ شَيْطَانُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْقُدَ وَ يَقُولُ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْقُدَ
He-la steps aside and the Angles guards him until he wakes up from his sleep. When he does wake up, his Satan-la rushes to him. He-la says to him like his-la words before he had gone to sleep, and the Angels says to him similar to what he had said to be before he had gone to sleep.
فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْعَبْدُ بِمِثْلِ مَا ذَكَرَهُ أَوَّلًا طَرَدَ الْمَلَكُ شَيْطَانَهُ فَتَنَحَّى وَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ قُنُوتَ لَيْلَةٍ.
If he were to do Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with similar to what he had mentioned firstly, the Angel expels his Satan-la. He-la steps aside, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Writes for him with that, contented night’’.[82]
حَدَّثَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْبُوشَنْجِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ السَّلَامِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّنْجَانِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ الْعَلَوِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع يَقُولُ لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ عِنْدَ نَوْمِنَا عَشْرُ خِصَالٍ الطَّهَارَةُ وَ تَوَسُّدُ الْيَمِينِ وَ تَسْبِيحُ اللَّهِ ثَلَاثاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ وَ تَحْمِيدُهُ ثَلَاثاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ وَ تَكْبِيرُهُ أَرْبَعاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ وَ نَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ بِوَجْهِنَا وَ نَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَخَذَ بِحَظِّهِ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ.
It is narrated by Al Husayn Bin Saeed Al Makhzumy, from Al Husayn Bin Ahmad Al Bushanjy, from Abdullah Bin Ali Al Salamy who said, ‘I heard Is’haq Bin Muhammad Al Zanjany saying, I heard Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Alawy saying,
‘I heard Ali‑asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws saying: ‘For us-asws, People-asws of the Household during our-asws sleep, there are ten traits – the cleanliness, and using the right hand as a pillow, and glorifying Allah-azwj thirty-three times, and praising thirty-three times, and extol His-azwj Greatness thirty-four (times), and we-asws face the Qiblah with our-asws faces and we-asws recite Opening of the Book (Surah Al Hamd), and Ayat Al Kursy, and Allah Testifies that there is no god except Him [3:18] – up to end of the Verse. The one who does that, so he has taken his share from his night’’.[83]

That Noor will surround the Angels. They will seek Forgiveness for him until morning’’.[89]

And let him spend the night in clean clothes, neither gathering any Permissible nor Prohibition upon it, and let him place his right hand beneath his right cheek, and let him glorify one hundred times, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is the Greatest, and there is neither any might nor strength except with Allah-azwj’, and let him say one hundred times, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires’, he will see the Prophet-saww in his dream.
وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص سَلَامُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ بَشَّرَكَ كَالتَّسْلِيمِ عَلَيْكَ فَقُلْ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ فِي الْجُزْءِ الثَّالِثِ مِنْ كِتَابِ التَّجَمُّلِ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ قورجة بِإِسْنَادِهِ.
And from that is – ‘Whenever you want to deliver your greetings to the Prophet-saww, and the glad tidings upon you like the greetings upon you, then say what we are reporting in the third part from the book of beautification, in the translation of Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Qowrjah, by his chain’’.[97]
قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ص يَقُولُ مَنْ أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ ثُمَ قَرَأَ تَبارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ الْحِلِّ وَ الْحَرَمِ بَلِّغْ رُوحَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِّي تَحِيَّةً وَ سَلَاماً أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَلَكَيْنِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَا مُحَمَّداً فَيَقُولَانِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ ص وَ عَلَى فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ السَّلَامُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
He said,
‘I heard the Prophet-saww saying: ‘One who shelters to his bed, then recites, Surah Al Mulk, then says, ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the Permissibles and the Prohibitions! Deliver greetings to the soul of Muhammad-saww’ – four times, Allah-azwj will Allocate two Angels until they come to Muhammad-saww and say: ‘O Muhammad-saww! So and so, son of so and so, conveys the greetings unto you-saww and Mercy of Allah-azwj!’ So he-saww said: ‘And upon so and so, son of so and so be the greetings and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’’
وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ رُؤْيَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فِي مَنَامِكَ فَقُلْ عِنْدَ مَضْجَعِكَ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا مَنْ لَهُ لُطْفٌ خَفِيٌّ وَ أَيَادِيهِ بَاسِطَةٌ لَا تَنْقَضِي أَسْأَلُكَ بِلُطْفِكَ الْخَفِيِّ الَّذِي مَا لَطُفْتَ بِهِ لِعَبْدٍ إِلَّا كُفِيَ أَنْ تُرِيَنِي مَوْلَايَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فِي مَنَامِي.
And from that – ‘Whenever you want to see Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, in your dream, then say at your bedtime, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O One-azwj Who has hidden Kindness for Him-azwj, and His-azwj Hands are extended, never ending! I ask You-azwj by You-azwj hidden Kindness which are not Kind with to a servant except it would suffice! Show me my Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws in my dream’’.[98]
وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَرَادَ رُؤْيَا مَيِّتِهِ فِي مَنَامِهِ حَدَّثَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ الصَّائِغِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ وَ أَعْطَانِيهِ فِي رُقْعَةٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ الطَّحَّانِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَعْضِهِمْ ع قَالَ: إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَرَى مَيِّتَكَ فَبِتْ عَلَى طُهْرٍ وَ انْضَجِعْ عَلَى يَمِينِكَ وَ سَبِّحْ تَسْبِيحَ فَاطِمَةَ ع ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْحَدُّ الَّذِي لَا يُوصَفُ وَ الْإِيمَانُ يُعْرَفُ مِنْهُ مِنْكَ بَدَتِ الْأَشْيَاءُ وَ إِلَيْكَ تَعُودُ
And from what, whenever he wants to see a deceased in his dream – It is narrated by Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, said, ‘It is narrated to us by Muhammad in Hammam, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Malik, from Muhammad Bin Husayn Al Saig, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan and he gave it to me in a note from Muhammad Bin Bakr Al Tahhan,
From one of them-asws having said: ‘Whenever you want to see your deceased, then spend the night upon cleanliness and lie down upon your right and glorify with the glorification (Tasbeeh) of Fatima-asws, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the Limit which cannot be described, and the Eman is recognised from it, and the things began from You-azwj and will return to You-azwj.
فَمَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْهَا كُنْتَ مَلْجَأَهُ وَ مَنْجَاهُ وَ مَا أَدْبَرَ مِنْهَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَلْجَأٌ وَ لَا مَنْجَى مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ
So what comes from it, You-azwj are its Shelter and its Rescuer, and whatever turns around from it, there will neither be a shelter for it nor an rescuer from You-azwj except to You-azwj.
فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ بِحَقِّ عَلِيٍّ خَيْرِ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ بِحَقِّ فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ بِحَقِّ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ جَعَلْتَهَمَا سَيِّدَيْ شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ السَّلَامُ
I ask You-azwj by there being no god except You-azwj, and I ask You-azwj by, ‘In the Name of Allah‑azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’, and by the right of Muhammad-saww, chief of the Prophets-as, and by the right of Ali-asws, best of the successors-asws, and by the right of (Syeda) Fatima‑asws, chief of women of the worlds, and by right of Al-Hassan-asws and Al Husayn-asws those whom You-azwj have Made them-asws as two chiefs of youths of the people of Paradise, may the greetings be upon them-asws all.
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ أَنْ تُرِيَنِي مَيِّتِي فِي الْحَالِ الَّتِي هُوَ فِيهَا فَإِنَّكَ تَرَاهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.
(Please) Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, and People-asws of his Household, and Show me my deceased being in the state which he is in!’ So you will see him, if Allah-azwj so Desires’’.[99]
وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِذَا كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ الِانْتِبَاهَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ أَوْ لِلدُّعَاءِ وَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ أَوْ لِصَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ وَ فِيهِ رِوَايَاتٌ فَمِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ لِلِانْتِبَاهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ عَنِ ابْنِ الْعَيَّاشِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ الْعَمْرَكِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ النَّخَعِيِّ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ بَيَّاعِ الملا [الْمُلَاءِ] عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَا نَوَى عَبْدٌ أَنْ يَقُومَ أَيَّةَ سَاعَةٍ نَوَى يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَلَكَيْنِ يُحَرِّكَانِهِ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ.
And from that is when you want to wake up upon all states, or for the supplicating, and seeking the Forgiveness, or for the night Salat, and in it are (a variety of) reports. For the reports of the waking upon all states is what is narrated with by Abu Al Mufazzal Muhammad Bin Abdullah, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, from Ibn Al Ayyashi, from his father, from Ja’far Bin Ahmad Bin Marouf, from Al Amraky Bin Ali, from Abdullah Bin Al Waleed Al Nakhaie, from Fuzeyl, salesman of Al Muta’a, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Whatever a servant intends to arise, whichever time he intends to, Allah-azwj Knows that from him, except Allah-azwj will Allocate two Angels with stirring him at that time’’.[100]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ لِلِانْتِبَاهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ مَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُذَاعَةَ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقْرَأُ آخِرَ الْكَهْفِ حِينَ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ إِلَّا اسْتَيْقَظَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الَّتِي يُرِيدُ.
And from the reports for the waking up upon all stats is what is reported by Abu Al Mufazzal, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al Himeyri, from his father, from Ibn Isa, from Muhammad Bin Al Waleed, from Aban Bin Usman, from Aamir Bin Abdullah Bin Juza’a who said,
‘There is no servant who recites the end of (Surah) Al Kahf when he shelters to his bed, except he will wake up during the time which he had wanted to’’.[101]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ لِلِانْتِبَاهِ لِلدُّعَاءِ وَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ حَدَّثَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْأَرَّجَانِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ أَوْ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْتَبِهَ بِاللَّيْلِ فَلْيَقُلْ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ- اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُنْسِنِي ذِكْرَكَ وَ لَا تُؤْمِنِّي مَكْرَكَ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ وَ أَنْبِهْنِي لِأَحَبِّ السَّاعَاتِ إِلَيْكَ
And from the reports for the waking up for the supplications, and seeking the Forgiveness – It is narrated by Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Shazan, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Arjany, from Hammad Bin Isa,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan-asws, or from the one who mentioned it from Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 1st having said: ‘One who loves to wake up at night, let him say at his sleep time, ‘O Allah-azwj! Do not Let me forget Your-azwj Zikr, and do not Let me feel safe from Your-azwj Plan, and do not Make me to be from the heedless ones, and Wake me up at the timing most Beloved to You-azwj!
أَدْعُوكَ فِيهَا فَتَسْتَجِيبُ لِي وَ أَسْأَلُكَ فَتُعْطِينِي وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ فَتَغْفِرُ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
I supplicate to You-azwj in it, so Answer for me! And I ask You-azwj, so Give me, and I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness, so Forgive me. No one forgives the sins except You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’
قَالَ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ مَلَكَيْنِ يُنْبِهَانِهِ فَإِنِ انْتَبَهَ وَ إِلَّا أَمَرَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَا لَهُ فَإِنْ مَاتَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ مَاتَ شَهِيداً وَ إِذَا انْتَبَهَ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى شَيْئاً فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَوْقِفِ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ.
He-asws said: ‘Then Allah-azwj the Exalted will Send two Angels to him to wake him up. Either he wakes up or else they are Commanded with seeking Forgiveness for him. If he were to die during that night will dies as a martyr; and when he wakes up, he will not ask Allah-azwj the Exalted for anything during that position, except He-azwj will Give it to him’’.[102]
24- تم، فلاح السائل وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ لِلِانْتِبَاهِ لِقِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَرَادَ شَيْئاً مِنْ قِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ فَأَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُؤْمِنِّي مَكْرَكَ وَ لَا تُنْسِنِي ذِكْرَكَ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ أَقُومُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ سَاعَةَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَإِنَّهُ يُوَكِّلُ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَلَكاً يُنْبِهُهُ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ.
(The book) ‘Falah Al Sa’ail’ – And from the reports for the waking up for standing (for Salat) at night is what is narrated with by Abu Al Mufazzal Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Ash’as, from Musa Bin Ismail,
‘Son of Musa-asws, from his father-asws, from his father-asws, from his grandfather-asws Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who wants something from standing at night, he should take his bed, let him say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Do not Let me feel safe from Your-azwj Plan, and do not Let me forget Your-azwj Zikr, and do not Make me to be from the heedless ones! I want to arise at such and such time!’ – Allah-azwj will Allocate two Angels with him to wake him up at that very time’’.[103]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ لِلِانْتِبَاهِ لِلصَّلَاةِ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُقْدَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ رُمَّانَةَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُومَ مِنْ لَيْلِهِ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَلَا يَذْهَبَ بِهِ النَّوْمُ فَلْيَقُلْ حِينَ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُؤْمِنِّي مَكْرَكَ وَ لَا تُنْسِنِي ذِكْرَكَ وَ لَا تُوَلِّ عَنِّي وَجْهَكَ وَ لَا تَهْتِكْ عَنِّي سِتْرَكَ وَ لَا تَأْخُذْنِي عَلَى تَمَرُّدِي وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ وَ أَيْقِظْنِي مِنْ رَقْدَتِي وَ سَهِّلْ لِيَ الْقِيَامَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فِي أَحَبِّ الْأَوْقَاتِ إِلَيْكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي فِيهَا الصَّلَاةَ وَ الشُّكْرَ وَ الدُّعَاءَ حَتَّى أَسْأَلَكَ فَتُعْطِيَنِي وَ أَدْعُوَكَ فَتَسْتَجِيبَ لِي وَ أَسْتَغْفِرَكَ فَتَغْفِرَ لِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ.
And from the reports for the waking up for the Salat is what is narrated with by Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, from Ibn Uqdah, from Muhammad Bin Al Mufazzal Bin Qays Bin Rumanah Al Ashary, from Safwan Bin Yahya who said,
‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws saying: ‘One who wants to stand from his night for the Salat and the sleep will not go with him, let him say when he shelters to his bed, ‘O Allah-azwj! Do not Let me feel safe from Your-azwj Plan, and do not Let me forget Your-azwj Zikr, and do not Turn Your-azwj Face away from me, nor Tear Your-azwj veil from me, nor Seize me upon my mutiny, nor Make me being from the heedless ones, and Wake me from my sleep, and Ease the arising for me during this night in the timings most Beloved to You-azwj, and Grace me the Salat in it, and the thanking, and the supplicating until I ask You-azwj so You-azwj will Give me, and I supplicate to You-azwj so You-azwj will Answer me, and I seek Forgiveness, so You-azwj will Forgive (my sins) for me. Surely You-azwj are the Forgiving, the Merciful’’.[104]
ذِكْرُ مَا يَقُولُهُ بَعْدَ النَّوْمِ إِذَا انْقَلَبَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَ لَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَدَّثَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْقَصَبَانِيِّ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فِيقَوْلِهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى كانُوا قَلِيلًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ما يَهْجَعُونَ قَالَ كَانَ الْقَوْمُ يَنَامُونَ وَ لَكِنْ كُلَّمَا تَقَلَّبَ أَحَدُهُمْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ.
It is mentioned what he should be saying after the sleeping when he turns upon his bed and does not sit up – It is narrated by Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Al Saffar, from Ibn Al Mugheira, from Al Abbas Bin Aamir Al Qasbany, from the one who mentioned it, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws regarding Words of Blessed and Exalted, It was little from the night what they used to sleep [51:17]. He-asws said: ‘The group of people were sleeping, but every time one of them turned, he said, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is the Greatest’’.[105]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِيمَا يَقُولُهُ عِنْدَ تُقَلِّبِهِ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْرُورٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ بْنِ خَانِبَةَ الْكَرْخِيِّ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ قَدْ قَدَّمْنَا إِسْنَادَ كِتَابِ ابْنِ خَانِبَةَ وَ نُعِيدُهُ الْآنَ حَيْثُ قَدْ تَبَاعَدَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَوْضِعَيْنِ حَدَّثَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ وَ كَانَ قَائِداً مِنَ الْقُوَّادِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ قَالَ:
And from the reports regarding what he should be saying during his turning upon his bed is what is narrated with by Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Yusuf, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Masrour, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ibrahim Al Hamdany, from his father, from his grandfather, from Ahmad Bin Abd Rabbih Bin Janibah Al Karkhy in his book, and we are presenting attribution of the book of Ibn Khanibah, and we are repeating it now, where there is remoteness what is between the two places. It is narrated by Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, from Abu Ali Al Ashari, and he was a guide from the guides, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah Bin Abu Khalaf who said,
قَالَ لِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَانِبَةَ إِنَّهُ عَرَضَ كِتَابَهُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَاحِبِ الْعَسْكَرِ الْأَخِيرِ ع فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ صَحِيحٌ فَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ
‘Ahmad Bin Khanibah said to me that he had presented his book to Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Muhammad, a companion of the Al-Askar Al-Akheer (11th Imam-asws). He-asws paused upon it and said: ‘Correct, so work with it!’
وَ الَّذِي رَوَيْنَاهُ هُنَاكَ أَنَّ الرَّاوِيَ لِعَرْضِ كِتَابِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ خَانِبَةَ عَلَى مَوْلَانَا الْهَادِي غَيْرُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ خَانِبَةَ فِي الْكِتَابِ الْمُشَارِ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا انْتَبَهْتَ مِنْ مَنَامِكَ وَ تَقَلَّبْتَ عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ فَقُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ إِلَهِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ رَبِّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ- وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ.
And that which we are reporting over here is that the report of presentation of a book of Ahmad Bin Khanbah to our Master Al Hadi-asws is other than Ahmad Bin Khanbah in the book spread to him-asws. When you wake up from your sleep and turn upon the bed, then say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, the Living, the Eternal, and He-azwj is Able upon all things! Glory be to Allah-azwj, and Lord-azwj of the worlds, and God-azwj of the Messengers-as, and Glory be to Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the seven skies and whatever is within these, and Lord-azwj of the seven earths and whatever is within these, and Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Throne, and greetings be upon the Messengers-as, and the Praise is for Allah (s.ww.t.) Lord-azwj of the worlds’’.[106]

Mention of what he should do and say when he sees in his dream what he dislikes – It is narrated by Ibn Uqdah, from Ibn Fazzal, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When the man sees in his dread what he dislikes, let him turn from his side which he was sleeping upon, and let him say, But rather, the secret counsels are from the Satan, for him to grieve those who believe, and he cannot harm them of anything except by Permission of Allah, [58:10]. Then let him say, ‘I seek Refuge with what the Angels of Proximity of Allah-azwj and the Messenger-as Prophets-as, and the righteous servants had sought Refuge with, from evil of what I have seen, and from evil of the Pelted Satan-la’’.[107]
رِوَايَةٌ ثَانِيَةٌ فِي دَفْعِ رُؤْيَا مَكْرُوهَةٍ حَدَّثَ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الْعِجْلِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ التَّيْمُلِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالا شَكَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَا تَلْقَاهُ فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَالَ لَهَا إِذَا رَأَيْتِ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكِ فَقُولِي- أَعُوذُ بِمَا عَاذَتْ بِهِ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ أَنْبِيَاءُ اللَّهِ الْمُرْسَلُونَ وَ عِبَادُ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحُونَ مِنْ شَرِّ رُؤْيَايَ الَّتِي رَأَيْتُ أَنْ تَضُرَّنِي فِي دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ اتْفُلِي عَلَى يَسَارِكِ ثَلَاثاً.
A second report in repelling an abhorrent dream – It is narrated by Haroun Bin Musa, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Ijaly, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Al Taymuly, from Muhammad Bin Al Waleed, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abdullah, And Suleyman,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, and Abu Abdullah-asws, both said: ‘Fatima-asws complained to Rasool-Allah‑saww of what she-asws faced in the sleep. He-saww said to her-asws: ‘Whenever you-asws see anything from that, then say: ‘I-asws seek Refuge with what the Angels of Proximity of Allah‑azwj, and the Messenger-as Prophets-as of Allah-azwj, and the righteous servants of Allah-azwj had sought Refuge with from evil of my-asws dream which I-asws have seen, from harming regarding my-asws religion, and my-asws world’, and spit thrice upon your left’’.[108]
رِوَايَةٌ ثَالِثَةٌ لِدَفْعِ مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ الرُّؤْيَا فِيهَا زِيَادَةُ كَلِمَاتٍ حَدَّثَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْبَزَّازُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُقْدَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ شَيْبَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ الْبَطَائِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ فِي مَنَامِكَ شَيْئاً تَكْرَهُهُ فَقُلْ حِينَ تَسْتَيْقِظُ- أَعُوذُ بِمَا عَاذَتْ بِهِ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ أَنْبِيَاءُ اللَّهِ الْمُرْسَلُونَ وَ عِبَادُ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحُونَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ الرَّاشِدُونَ الْمَهْدِيُّونَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا رَأَيْتُ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ رُؤْيَايَ أَنْ تَضُرَّنِي وَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ثُمَّ اتْفُلْ عَلَى يَسَارِكَ ثَلَاثاً.
A third report to repel what is abhorrent from the dreams, there are additional phrases – It is narrated by Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Ali Al Bazzaz, from Ibn Uqdah, from Yahya Bin Zakariya Bin Sheyban, from Ibn Al Batainy, from his father, and Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘If you were to see in your dream something you dislike, then say when you wake up, ‘I seek Refuge with what the Angels of Proximity of Allah-azwj, and the Messenger-as Prophets-as of Allah-azwj, and righteous servants of Allah-azwj, and the Imams‑asws rightfully guiding and Guided ones had sought Refuge with, from evil of what I have seen, and from evil of my dream from harming me, and from the Pelted Satan-la’ – then spit upon your left thrice’’.[109]

(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ –
‘In a Hadeeth by Huzeyfa, ‘The Prophet-saww, whenever he-saww sheltered to his-saww bed, said: ‘By Your-azwj Name, O Allah-azwj, I-saww die and live!’ And when he-saww woke up, said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who will Cause us to live after Causing us to live, and to Him-azwj is the Resurrection’’.[110]

(The book) ‘Mahasiba Al Nafs’ of the Seyyid Ali Bin Tawoos, by his chain to,
‘Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww did not wake up from his-saww sleep at all except he-saww fell in Sajdah to Allah-azwj’’.[111]

And from him, transmitting from ‘Tareekh Neshapur’ of Al Hatim, in a translation by Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed Bin Abd Bin Al Mahdy Al Aamiry who said,
‘The Prophet-saww did not wake up from the sleep except he-saww fell in Sajdah thanking to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[112]

(The book) ‘Khatt Al Shaheed’ – from Ibn Asbaat who said,
‘Khalid Bin Al-Waleed was afflicted by insomnia, so the Prophet-saww said to him: ‘Shall I-saww teach you phrases, when you say these, you will sleep? Say, ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the skies and what these shade, and Lord-azwj of the earths and what these carry, and Lord-azwj of the Satans-la and whom they-la stray! Be my Shelter from between Your-azwj creatures altogether from overwhelming upon me by anyone of them, or overcome the might of Your-azwj Shelter, and there is no god apart from You-azwj!’’[113]
وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَ أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكُهُ وَ شَيْطَانُهُ يَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ اخْتِمْ بِشَرٍّ وَ يَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ اخْتِمْ بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ وَ حَمِدَهُ طَرَدَ الْمَلَكُ الشَّيْطَانَ وَ ظَلَّ يَكْلَؤُهُ
And from him, from Ibn Al Zubeyr, from Jabir who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The servant, when he enters his house and shelters to his bed, his Angel and his Satan-la rush to him. The Satan-la says, ‘End with evil!’ And the Angel says, ‘End with good!’ If he were to do Zikr of Allah-azwj and praises Him-azwj, the Angel expels the Satan‑la and shades his protection.
وَ إِنْ هُوَ انْتَبَهَ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكُهُ وَ شَيْطَانُهُ يَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ افْتَحْ بِشَرٍّ وَ يَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ افْتَحْ بِخَيْرٍ
And if he wakes from his sleep, his Angel and his Satan-la. The Satan-la says, ‘Begin with evil’. And the Angel says: ‘Begin with good!’
فَإِنْ هُوَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَدَّ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَ لَمْ يُمِتْهَا فِي مَنَامِهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا وَ لَئِنْ زالَتا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُما مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً
If he says, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who has Returned my souls to me after its death, and did not Cause it to die during it’s sleep. The Praise is for Allah-azwj Whom: Surely Allah Withholds the skies and the earth lest they cease. And if they were to cease, no one can withhold these from after Him. He was always Lenient, Forgiving [35:41].
وَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّماءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ
And he says, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj: Surely Allah Withholds the skies and the earth lest they cease. And if they were to cease, no one can withhold these from after Him. He was always Lenient, Forgiving [35:41].
فَإِنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ فِرَاشِهِ فَمَاتَ كَانَ شَهِيداً وَ إِنْ قَامَ يُصَلِّي صَلَّى فِي فَضَائِلَ.
If he goes out from his bed, so he dies, he would be a martyr, and if he stands to pray Salat, he would be praying in virtues’’.[114]

Then let him say, ‘I seek Refuge with what the Angels of Proximity of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj Messenger-as Prophets-as, and His-azwj righteous servants sought Refuge with from evil what I have seen, and from evil of the Pelted Satan-la’’.[115]

‘In order to repel the consequences of the abhorrent dream, perform Sajdah as a follow up of what you had woken up from without any distance (time gap), from praise upon Allah-azwj with what is easy for you from the praising, then send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and beseech to Allah-azwj and ask Him-azwj of its sufficiency, and safety of its consequences, so you will not see any trace for it by the Grace of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Mercy’’.[117]

And it is reported by Qatadah Al Haris Bin Rabie who said,
‘I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘The righteous dream is from Allah-azwj. Whenever one of you sees what he does not like, he should not discuss with anyone, so it will never harm him’’.[118]

And when you descend in a spot, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Disembark us in a Blessed landing, and you are the best of the Landers’ [23:29]’’.[197]
وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ ضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ فِي سَفَرٍ أَوْ خَافَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَلْيُنَادِ يَا صَالِحُ أَغِثْنِي فَإِنَّ فِي إِخْوَانِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ جِنِّيّاً يُسَمَّى صَالِحاً يَسِيحُ فِي الْبِلَادِ لِمَكَانِكُمْ مُحْتَسِباً نَفْسَهُ لَكُمْ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّوْتَ أَجَابَ وَ أَرْشَدَ الضَّالَّ مِنْكُمْ وَ حَبَسَ عَلَيْهِ دَابَّتَهُ.
And he-asws said: ‘And the one from you who gets lost in a journey, or fears upon himself, let him call out, ‘O Salih, help me!’, for there is a are Jinn among your brother Jinn’s who is named as ‘Salih’, roaming around in the cities due to your positions, withholding himself for you all. When he hears the voice, he answers and guided the lost one from you, and withholds his animal for him’’.[198]
وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ خَافَ مِنْكُمُ الْأَسَدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ غَنَمِهِ فَلْيَخُطَّ عَلَيْهَا خِطَّةً وَ لْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ دَانِيَالَ وَ الْجُبِّ وَ رَبَّ كُلِّ أَسَدٍ مُسْتَأْسِدٍ احْفَظْنِي وَ احْفَظْ غَنَمِي-
And he-asws said: ‘One from you who fears the lion upon himself and his sheep, let him draw a line upon it and let him say, ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of Daniel-as and the pit, and Lord-azwj of every lion in a den! Protect me and Protect my sheep!’
وَ مَنْ خَافَ مِنْكُمُ الْعَقْرَبَ فَلْيَقْرَأْ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ سَلامٌ عَلى نُوحٍ فِي الْعالَمِينَ إِنَّا كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ- إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.
And one from you who fears the scorpion, let him recite this Verse: Greetings be upon Noah among the nations [37:79] Surely, like that do We Recompense the good doers [37:80] He was from Our Momineen servants [37:81]’’.[199]

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Asnaad’ –
‘From Ali son of Ja’far-asws having said, ‘A man came to my brother-asws Musa-asws. He said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I want to head to such and such (place), so teach me ‘Istikhara) (seeking Choice of Allah-azwj) whether that direction is better, so Allah-azwj would Ease it for me, and it if was evil, Allah-azwj would Turn it away from me’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ وَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَجْهِ
He-asws said to him: ‘And is it obligatory to go out in that direction?’
قَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ نَعَمْ
The man said to him, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ قَدِّرْ لِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ اجْعَلْهُ خَيْراً لِي فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ.
He-asws said: ‘Say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Determine such and such for me and Make it to be good for me, for You-azwj are Able upon that!’’’[200]

Another report of the Salat during entrusting the dependants being with four Cycles and the beseeching, we have mentioned this report in the second volume from the book of biographies, among what we mentioned from Al Hakim by his chain, said,
‘A man came to the Prophet-saww. He said, ‘I intend a journey, and I have already written my will, so which of the three would you-asws instruct me, shall I hand it to my father, or my son, or my brother?’

The Prophet-saww said: ‘The servant will not make a replacement regarding his family, that a replacement when he wears his travel clothes, any better (replacement) than four Cycles Salat, placing these in his house, reciting in every Cycle of these with Surah Al-Fatiha, and Surah Al-Tawheed.
وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِنَّ إِلَيْكَ فَاجْعَلْهُنَّ خَلِيفَتِي فِي أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ هُوَ خَلِيفَتُهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ دَارِهِ وَ بَعْدَ دُخُولِ دَارِهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ.
And he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I am drawing closer to You-azwj, so Make these to be my replacement regarding my family, and my wealth!’ So it would be his replacement regarding his family, and his wealth, and his house after entering (exiting) his house until he returns to his family’’.[205]
21- طا، الأمان ذَكَرَ صَاحِبُ عَوَارِفِ الْمَعَارِفِ حَدِيثاً أَسْنَدَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ حَمَلَ مَعَهُ خَمْسَةَ أَشْيَاءَ الْمِرْآةَ وَ الْمُكْحُلَةَ وَ الْمِذْرَى وَ السِّوَاكَ وَ الْمُشْطَ
(The book) ‘Al Amaan’ –
The author of ‘Awarif Al-Ma’arif mentioned a Hadeeth which he had attributed, that the Prophet-saww was travelling carrying five (things) with him-saww – the mirror, and the Kohl container, and the needle, and the toothbrush, and the comb.
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ الْمِقْرَاضَ
And in another report – the scissors.
إِذَا تَوَجَّهْتَ إِلَى السَّفَرِ فَقُلْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ بِاللَّهِ أَخْرُجُ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَدْخُلُ وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَتَوَكَّلُ اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي فِي وَجْهِي هَذَا بِخَيْرٍ وَ اخْتِمْ لِي بِخَيْرٍ وَ قِنِي شَرَّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
Whenever you head to the journey, then say three times, ‘I am going out by Allah-azwj, and I shall enter by Allah-azwj, and I rely upon Allah-azwj! Open this direction of mine for me and End for me with goodness, and Save me from the evil of every animal, You-azwj shall Seize it by its forelock. Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight Path [11:56].
فَإِنَّ مَنْ قَالَهُ بِالْإِخْلَاصِ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الِاخْتِصَاصِ وَ هُوَ دَاخِلٌ فِي ضَمَانِ السَّلَامَةِ مِنَ النَّدَامَةِ فَإِذَا وَصَلْتَ إِلَى بَابِ دَارِكَ فَقُلْ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى صَبَّاحٍ الْحَذَّاءِ
The one who says with the sincerity will almost be from the specialist people, and it is included in the inclusion of the safety from the regret. When you arrive to the door of your house, then say what we are reporting with our chain to Sabbah Al-Haza’a.
قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ع- يَقُولُ لَوْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمْ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَراً قَامَ عَلَى بَابِ دَارِهِ تِلْقَاءَ الْوَجْهِ الَّذِي يَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَرَأَ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ أَمَامَهُ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ أَمَامَهُ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي وَ احْفَظْ مَا مَعِي وَ سَلِّمْنِي وَ سَلِّمْ مَا مَعِي وَ بَلِّغْنِي وَ بَلِّغْ مَا مَعِي بِبَلَاغِكَ الْحَسَنِ لَحَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ وَ حَفِظَ مَا مَعَهُ وَ سَلَّمَهُ وَ سَلَّمَ مَا مَعَهُ
He said, ‘I heard Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws saying: ‘If the man from you, whenever he intended a journey, were to stand at the door of his house, facing the direction which he will be heading to, so he recites Surah Al-Fatiha in front of him, and on his right, and on his left, and Ayat Al-Kursy in front of him, and on his right, and on his left, then says, ‘O Allah-azwj! Protect me and Protect what is with me, and Secure me and Secure what is with me, and Make me reach and Make what is with me to reach with Your-azwj excellent reaching, Allah-azwj will Protect him and Protect what is with him, and Secure him and Secure what is with him’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا صَبَّاحُ أَ مَا رَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يُحْفَظُ وَ لَا يُحْفَظُ مَا مَعَهُ وَ يُسَلَّمُ وَ لَا يُسَلَّمُ مَا مَعَهُ وَ يُبَلَّغُ وَ لَا يُبَلَّغُ مَا مَعَهُ
Then he-asws said: ‘O Sabbah! Have you not seen the man having been protected and what is with him is not protected? And he is safe while what is with him is not safe, and he reaches while what is with him does not reach (destination)?’
قُلْتُ بَلَى جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ.
I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you-asws!’’[206]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And we are reporting by our chain to Ali Bin Asbat,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said: ‘When you go out from your house in a journey or stay, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I believe in Allah-azwj and rely upon Allah-azwj. Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires. There is neither might nor strength except with Allah‑azwj!’

The Satans-la will meet him, so the Angels will strike their faces, and say, ‘There is no way for you-la against him, and he has already named Allah-azwj, and believed in Him-azwj, and relied upon Him-azwj, and he has said, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires. There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’’[207]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And we are reporting by our chain from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Abu Huzeyfa who said, ‘He said,
‘Whenever Abu Abdullah-asws went out, he-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! I-asws going out to You-azwj, and I-asws have submitted to You-azwj, and I-asws have submitted with You-azwj, and I-asws believe in You-azwj, and I-asws am relying upon You-azwj!

O Allah-azwj! I-asws am going out, so Bless for me-asws in my-asws going out and Cause me-asws to benefit with it!’ And when he enters his house, he should say similar to that’’.[208]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘We are reporting by our chain from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘One who says when he goes out from the door of his house, ‘I seek Refuge with what the Angels of Allah-azwj had sought Refuge with from evil of this new day which, when it’s sun sets will not return, and from evil of others, and from the evil of Satans-la, and from evil of the one hostile to friends of Allah-azwj, and from evil of the Jinn and the humans, and from evil of the wild animals and the vermin, and evil of the perpetrators of the Prohibitions, all of them. I shelter myself with Allah-azwj from every evil’ – except Allah-azwj will Forgive (his sins) for him, and Turn to him, and Suffice him of the worries, and Cut him out from the evil, and Protect him from the evil’’.[209]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And we are reporting by our chain to Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘When you go out from your house, then say, ‘In the Name of Allah‑azwj! I rely upon Allah-azwj. There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And in another Hadeeth from Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws: ‘One who says when he goes out from his house, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! Allah-azwj Suffices me. I rely upon Allah-azwj. O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj of goodness in my affairs, all of them, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from disgrace of the world and Punishment of the Hereafter’ – Allah-azwj will Suffice him of whatever worries him from the matters of his world and his Hereafter’’.[211]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And it is reported that when he stands at the door of his house, he should glorify with the glorification (Tasbeeh) of Al Zahra-asws, and recited (Surah) Al-Hamd, and Ayat Al-Kursy, like what we have forwarded (before).

And he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I direct my face to You-azwj and am leaving behind upon You‑azwj, my family and my wealth and whatever You-azwj have Given me, and I am trusting You‑azwj, so do not Disappoint me, O One-azwj Who does not Disappoint the one who intends Him-azwj, and does not Waste the one He-azwj Protects!

O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Protect me regarding what I am missing out on, and do not Allocate me to myself, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

O Allah-azwj! Make me reach what I am heading out for and Cause the purpose for me, and Subjugate Your-azwj servants and Your-azwj city to me, and Grace me visitation of Your-azwj Prophet-saww and Your-azwj Guardian-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and the Imams-asws from his‑asws sons-asws, and entirety of his-asws Household, may the greetings be upon him-asws and upon them-asws, and Provide for me with the Aid from You-azwj in entirety of my situations, and do not Allocate me to myself nor to others, so I would eat and would be spoilt, and Provide me the piety and Forgive for me in the Hereafter and the former (life of the world)!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي أَوْجَهَ مَنْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْكَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me the most direct of the ones directing to you-azwj!

And he should say as well, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah-azwj, and I rely upon Allah‑azwj, and I seek Assistance with Allah-azwj, and am sheltering my back to Allah-azwj, and am delegating my affairs to Allah-azwj, my Lord-azwj! I believe in Your-azwj Book which You-azwj have Revealed, and Your-azwj Prophet-saww whom You-azwj had Send, because no one comes with the goodness, my God-azwj, except You-azwj, nor can anyone Turn the evil away except You-azwj.

Mighty is Your-azwj Shelter, and Majestic is Your-azwj Praise, and Holy are Your-azwj Names, and Magnificent are Your Favours, and there is no God-azwj except apart from You-azwj!’

It is reported that the one who goes out from his house in the morning and supplicates with this supplication, affliction will not knock him until evening, and he will return to his house, and like that is the one who goes out in the evening and supplicates with it, affliction will not knock him until morning, and he will return to his house’’.[212]

And from the Prophet-saww, from Jibraeel-as: ‘One who intends a journey, he should hold a frame of the door of his house and recite eleven times, Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed), Allah-azwj will be a Guard for him until he returns’’.[214]

And the Prophet-saww said: ‘When the man rides the animal, he should name Allah-azwj, and Angel will ride behind him until he descends. If he rides and does not name (Allah-azwj), Satan‑la will ride behind him’’.[215]
وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع إِذَا أَرَدْتَ سَفَراً فَلَا تَضَعْ رِجْلَكَ فِي الرِّكَابِ حَتَّى تُقَدِّمَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ صَدَقَةً قَلَّ أَمْ كَثُرَ
And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘When you want to travel, do not place your legs in the stirrups until you send forward charity in front of you, be it little or more’.
قَالَ الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ خُنَيْسٍ قُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ كَمِ الْقَلِيلُ وَ كَمِ الْكَثِيرُ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ الرَّغِيفِ فَصَاعِداً وَ كُلَّمَا أَكْثَرْتَ صَدَقَتَكَ كَانَ أَقْضَى لِحَاجَتِكَ.
Al Moalla Bin Khuneys (narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! How much is the little and how much is the more?’
He-asws said: ‘Between the loaf (of bread) and upwards, and every time your charity increases, it would be more fulfilling for your needs’’.[216]
وَ قَالُوا ع إِذَا أَرَدْتَ سَفَراً فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ اجْمَعْ أَهْلَكَ وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا سَلِمْتَ فَقُلِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ السَّاعَةَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ وَ أَنْتَ الْخَلِيفَةُ
And they-asws said: ‘When you want to travel, then wash the Wud’u for the Salat, and gather your family, and pray two Cycles. When you have greeted (completed Salat), then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I am now entrusting myself, and my family. O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the Companion, and You-azwj are the Replacement!’
وَ إِذَا وَضَعْتَ رِجْلَكَ عَلَى بَابِكَ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ما شاءَ اللَّهُ لا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ.
And when you place your legs upon your door (step), then say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! I believe in Allah-azwj and rely upon Allah-azwj. Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires. There is no strength except with Allah-azwj!’’[217]

وَ الْوَلَدِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ أَنْتَ الْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ- لَا يَجْمَعُهُمَا غَيْرُكَ لِأَنَّ الْمُسْتَخْلَفَ لَا يَكُونُ مُسْتَصْحَباً وَ الْمُسْتَصْحَبَ لَا يَكُونُ مُسْتَخْلَفاً.
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the Companion in the journey and You-azwj are the replacement (protection) regarding the family, and none can gather them apart from You-azwj because the one left behind cannot be the companion, and the companion cannot be the one left behind’’.[218]
قال السيد رضي الله عنه و ابتداء هذا الكلام مروي عن رسول الله ص و قد قفاه ع بأبلغ كلام و تممه بأحسن تمام من قوله لا يجمعهما غيرك إلى آخر الفصل.
The Seyyid Al Shareef (compiler), may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, said, ‘And the beginning of this speech is reported as being from Rasool-Allah-saww, and Amir Al-Momineen-asws has followed it through with the most eloquent of speeches and completed it with the most excellent of completions, from his-asws words no one has collected it apart from you-asws up to end of the merit’’.
24- ل، الخصال الْأَرْبَعُمِائَةِ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا خَرَجَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ الْحَامِلُ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ وَ الْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ –
‘(The Hadeeth) ‘Al-Arbamiya’ – Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Whenever one of you goes out in a journey, let him say, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the Companion in the journey, and the Carrier upon the back, and the Replacement regarding the family, and the wealth, and the sons!’
وَ إِذَا نَزَلْتُمْ مَنْزِلًا فَقُولُوا- اللَّهُمَّ أَنْزِلْنَا مُنْزَلًا مُبارَكاً وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِينَ.
And when you descend at a pausing stop, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! in a Blessed landing, and you are the best of the Landers’ [23:29]’’.[219]
وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ ضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ فِي سَفَرٍ أَوْ خَافَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَلْيُنَادِ يَا صَالِحُ أَغِثْنِي فَإِنَّ فِي إِخْوَانِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ جِنِّيّاً يُسَمَّى صَالِحاً يَسِيحُ فِي الْبِلَادِ لِمَكَانِكُمْ مُحْتَسِباً نَفْسَهُ لَكُمْ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّوْتَ أَجَابَ وَ أَرْشَدَ الضَّالَّ مِنْكُمْ وَ حَبَسَ عَلَيْهِ دَابَّتَهُ.
And he-asws said: ‘One from you who gets lost during a journey, or fears upon himself, let him call out, ‘O Salih, help me!’ Among your brothers from the Jinn, there is a Jinn named as ‘Salih’. He wanders in the wilderness to your places anticipating himself for you all. When he hears the voice, he answers, and he guides the one from you who is lost, and he withholds his animal for him’’.[220]
وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ خَافَ مِنْكُمُ الْغَرَقَ فَلْيَقْرَأْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَجْراها وَ مُرْساها إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الْمَلِكِ الْحَقِ ما قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَ الْأَرْضُ جَمِيعاً قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ وَ السَّماواتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحانَهُ وَ تَعالى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ.
And he-asws said: ‘One from you who fears the drowning, let him recite, ‘in the Name of Allah would be its sailing and its anchoring; surely my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful’ [11:41]. In the Name of Allah-azwj the King, the truth! And they are not appreciating Allah with the appreciation that is due to Him; and the whole of the earth would be in His Grip on the Day of Judgement, and the skies having been rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorious is He and Exalted from what they are associating [39:67]’’.[221]
25- ب، قرب الإسناد عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع- مَا تَرَى أَخْرُجُ بَرّاً أَوْ بَحْراً فَإِنَّ طَرِيقَنَا مَخُوفٌ شَدِيدُ الْخَطَرِ
(The book) ‘Qurb Al Asnaad’ – from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Asbaat who said,
‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘What is your-asws view, shall I go out by land or by seas, for there are two roads being of severe danger?’
قَالَ اخْرُجْ بَرّاً
He-asws said: ‘Go out by land!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ لَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ مَسْجِدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَتُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي غَيْرِ وَقْتِ فَرِيضَةٍ ثُمَّ تَسْتَخِيرَ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ
Then he-asws said: ‘And it is not upon you to go to Masjid of Rasool-Allah-saww, pray two Cycles in other than the Prescribed timings, then you should seek the Choice of Allah-azwj one hundred times.
فَإِنْ خَرَجَ لَكَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ فَقُلِ الَّذِي قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى ارْكَبُوا فِيها بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَجْراها وَ مُرْساها إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
If it comes out for you upon the sea, then say that which Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: ‘in the Name of Allah would be its sailing and its anchoring; surely my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful’ [11:41].
فَإِنِ اضْطَرَبَ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اسْكُنْ بِسَكِينَةِ اللَّهِ وَ قِرْ بِوَقَارِ اللَّهِ وَ اهْدَأْ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ [كَذَا]
If you are desperate, then say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! Be calm with the Tranquillity of Allah‑azwj, and be dignified by the Dignity of Allah-azwj, and guide by the Permission of Allah-azwj, and there is neither might nor strength except by the Permission of Allah-azwj!’ – like that.
قُلْنَا لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ مَا السَّكِينَةُ
We said to him-asws, ‘May Allah-azwj Keep you-asws well! What is the tranquillity?’
قَالَ رِيحٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ لَهَا صُورَةٌ كَصُورَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ وَ رَائِحَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَ هِيَ الَّتِي أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلَتْ تَدُورُ حَوْلَ أَرْكَانِ الْبَيْتِ وَ هُوَ يَضَعُ الْأَسَاطِينَ
He-asws said: ‘A wind emerging from the Paradise having a face for it like the face of a human being, and an aromatic smell, and it is which descended unto Ibrahim-as, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-as. It came and rotated around the sides of the House (Kaaba), and he (Ibrahim-as) placed the foundations’.
قُلْنَا هِيَ مِنَ الَّتِي قَالَ فِيهِ سَكِينَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ بَقِيَّةٌ مِمَّا تَرَكَ آلُ مُوسى وَ آلُ هارُونَ تَحْمِلُهُ الْمَلائِكَةُ
We said, ‘Is it from which Allah-azwj Said: ‘wherein is tranquillity from your Lord and remnants of what the progeny of Musa and the progeny of Haroun have left, the Angels would be carrying it; [2:248]?’
قَالَ تِلْكَ السَّكِينَةُ كَانَتْ فِي التَّابُوتِ وَ كَانَتْ فِيهَا طَسْتٌ يُغْسَلُ فِيهَا قُلُوبُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ كَانَتِ التَّابُوتُ يَدُورُ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ
He-asws said: ‘That is the tranquillity which was in the box (Taboot), and in it was a trove in which hearts of the Prophets-as had been washed, and the box used to rotate among children of Israel with the Prophets-as’.
ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ فَمَا تَابُوتُكُمْ
Then he-asws faced towards us, he-asws said: ‘What is your (understanding of) ‘Taboot’?’
قُلْنَا السِّلَاحُ
We said, ‘The weapons’.
قَالَ صَدَقْتُمْ هُوَ تَابُوتُكُمْ
He-asws said: ‘You speak the truth! It is your ‘Taboot’!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ فَإِنْ خَرَجْتَ بَرّاً فَقُلِ الَّذِي قَالَ اللَّهُ سُبْحانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنا هذا وَ ما كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ- وَ إِنَّا إِلى رَبِّنا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ رُكُوبِهِ فَيَقَعَ مِنْ بَعِيرٍ أَوْ دَابَّةٍ فَيَضُرَّهُ شَيْءٌ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ
Then he-asws said: ‘If you were to go by land, then say that which Allah-azwj Said: ‘Glory be to the One Who Subjugated this one for us, and we were not capable for it [43:13] And we would be returning to our Lord’ [43:14]. There isn’t any servant saying (it) during his riding, so he falls off from a camel or an animal and something would harm him, by the Permission of Allah-azwj’.
وَ قَالَ فَإِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَضْرِبُ وُجُوهَ الشَّيَاطِينِ
And he-asws said: ‘When you go out from your house, then say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! I believe in Allah-azwj! I rely upon Allah-azwj! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’
وَ تَقُولُ قَدْ سَمَّى اللَّهَ وَ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ تَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ.
Then Angels will strike the faces of Satans-la, and you should say, ‘I have named Allah-azwj, and believe in Allah-azwj, and rely upon Allah-azwj!’ And say, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’’[222]
أَقُولُ قَدْ مَضَى الْخَبَرُ فِي بَابِ الْآدَابِ بِرِوَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ وَ فِيهِ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَ رَكِبْتَ الْبَرَّ فَإِذَا اسْتَوَيْتَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِكَ فَقُلْ سُبْحانَ الَّذِي إلخ
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘The Hadeeth has already passed in the chapters on etiquettes, by a report of Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Asbaat, and in it,
‘When you determine upon something and ride on the land, when you are even upon your riding animal, then say, ‘Therefore Glory be to Him [36:83] – etc.
وَ إِنْ رَكِبْتَ بَحْراً فَقُلْ حِينَ تَرْكَبُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَجْراها وَ مُرْساها فَإِذَا ضَرَبَتْ بِكَ الْأَمْوَاجُ فَاتَّكِ عَلَى يَسَارِكَ وَ أَشِرْ إِلَى الْمَوْجِ بِيَدِكَ وَ قُلِ اسْكُنْ بِسَكِينَةِ اللَّهِ وَ قِرَّ بِقَرَارِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
And if you were to sail the sea, then say when you embark, ‘in the Name of Allah would be its sailing and its anchoring; [11:41]. When the waves hit you, then leant to your left and gesture towards the waves with your hand, and say, ‘Calm down, by the Tranquillity of Allah-azwj, and Settle down by the Settling of Allah-azwj! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’
قَالَ ابْنُ أَسْبَاطٍ فَرَكِبْتُ الْبَحْرَ وَ كَانَ إِذَا هَاجَ الْمَوْجُ قُلْتُ كَمَا أَمَرَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع- فَيَتَنَفَّسُ الْمَوْجُ وَ لَا يُصِيبُنَا مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ.
Ibn Asbaat (the narrator) said, ‘I sailed the sea, and whenever the waves stirred (were high), I said like what Abu Al-Hassan-asws had instructed me. The waves breathed (reduced) and nothing from it afflicted us’’.[223]

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – from Al Nowfaly by his chain, said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘A man will not replace upon his family with a replacement better than two Cycles Salat he prays when he wants to go out to his journey saying, ‘O Allah-azwj!

‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musa Bin Ja’far-asws saying: ‘If the man from you, when he intends a journey, were to stand upon a door (step) of his house, facing his face towards the direction he is heading towards, so he recites Surah Al Fatiha in front of him, and on his right, and on his left, and Ayat Al Kursy in front of him, and on his right and on his left, then says, ‘O Allah-azwj! Protect me and Protect what is with me, and Secure me and Secure what is with me, and Make me reach and Make reach what is with me with Your-azwj excellent reaching, the beautiful’ – Allah-azwj Protect him, and Protect what is upon him, and Protect what is with him, and Allah-azwj will Secure him, and Secure what is with him, and Allah-azwj will Make him reach, and Make reach what is with him’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws said to me: ‘O Sabbah! Have you not seen the man having been Protected and what is with him is not Protected, and he reaches and what is with him does not reach?’

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Two brothers (in faith) came to Rasool-Allah-saww. They said, ‘We intend (going to) Syria regarding business, so teach us what we should be saying’.
قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا أَوَيْتُمَا إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ فَصَلَّيْتُمَا الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ فَإِذَا وَضَعَ أَحَدُكُمَا جَنْبَهُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيُسَبِّحْ تَسْبِيحَ فَاطِمَةَ ع ثُمَّ لْيَقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ فَإِنَّهُ مَحْفُوظٌ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ
He-saww said: ‘Yes. When you come to the pausing stop, then pray the last Al Isha. When one of you places his side upon his bed after the Salat, let him glorify with glorification of Fatima-asws, then let him recite Ayat Al Kursy, for it is protection from all things until morning.
وَ إِنَّ لُصُوصاً تَبِعُوهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا نَزَلَا بَعَثُوا غُلَاماً لَهُمْ لِيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ حَالُهُمَا نَامَا أَمْ مُسْتَيْقِظَيْنِ فَانْتَهَى الْغُلَامُ إِلَيْهِمَا وَ قَدْ وَضَعَ أَحَدُهُمَا جَنْبَهُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ سَبَّحَ تَسْبِيحَ فَاطِمَةَ ع-
And the thieves pursued them until when they descended. They sent a slave of their in order to look at how their situation was, whether sleeping or awake. The slave ended to them, and one of them had placed his side upon his bed and he recited Ayat Al Kursy and glorified with the glorification (Tasbeeh) of Fatima-asws’.
قَالَ فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِمَا حَائِطَانِ مَبْنِيَّانِ فَجَاءَ الْغُلَامُ فَطَافَ بِهِمَا فَكُلَّمَا دَارَ لَمْ يَرَ إِلَّا حَائِطَيْنِ مَبْنِيَّيْنِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ إِلَّا حَائِطَيْنِ مَبْنِيَّيْنِ
He-asws said: ‘There was build walls by them. The slave came and circles around them. Every time he circles he did not see except built walls, so he returned to his companions. He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I did not see except two built walls!’
فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَخْزَاكَ اللَّهُ لَقَدْ كَذَبْتَ بَلْ ضَعُفْتَ وَ جَبُنْتَ فَقَامُوا فَنَظَرُوا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَّا حَائِطَيْنِ فَدَارُوا بِالْحَائِطَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَ لَمْ يَرَوْا إِنْسَاناً فَانْصَرَفُوا إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ
They said to him, ‘May Allah-azwj Disgrace you! You are lying, but you had weakened and were a coward’. They stood up and looked, but they could not find except two built walls. They circled the walls, but they could neither hear not see any person. So they left to go to their houses.

When it was the next morning, they came to them. They said, ‘Where were you two?’ They said, ‘We were not except over here and we have not departed’. They said, ‘By Allah-azwj! We had come and did not see except two build walls. Narrate to us what your stories are!’

He (the narrator) said, ‘He stepped aside and called out. Then he came to us and informed us that he had heard a voice responding softly saying, ‘The road in on the right!’ Or said, ‘Left’. We found it like what he had said.

And my father narrated to me with it they had turned away from the road in the wilderness, ‘So we did that and were guided’, and he said, ‘Our companion heard a soft voice saying, ‘The road is on the right!’ We had not travelled except a little until the road presented to us’’.[234]

(The book) ‘Makarim Al Akhlaq’ –
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘A man will not replace upon his family with any replacement better than two Cycles Salat he prays when he intends the going out to his journey, and he should say during farewell, ‘O Allah-azwj! I am entrusting today, my religion, and myself, and my wealth, and my family, and my children, and my neighbour, and people who grieve for me, the attendees from us and the absentees, and entirety of what You-azwj have Bestowed upon me!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا فِي كَنَفِكَ وَ مَنَعَتِكَ وَ عِيَاذِكَ وَ عِزِّكَ عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ امْتَنَعَ عَائِذُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ
O Allah-azwj! Make us to be in Your-azwj Patronage, and Your-azwj Defence, and Your-azwj Shelter, and Your-azwj Might! Mighty is Your-azwj Shelter and Majestic is Your-azwj Praise, and Invincible is Your-azwj Refuge, and there is no god apart from You-azwj.
تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً
I rely upon the Living Who will not be dying, ‘The Praise is for Allah, Who did not Take a son, and there does not happen to be an associate for Him in the Kingdom, and there does not happen to be a Guardian for Him from the disgrace, and exclaim His Greatness with exclamations’ [17:111].
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيراً وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيراً وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بُكْرَةً وَ أَصِيلًا.
Allah-azwj is Greatest of the great, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj a lot, and Glory be to Allah-azwj morning and evening’’.[245]
وَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِذَا أَرَادَ السَّفَرَ جَمَعَ عِيَالَهُ فِي بَيْتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ إِلَى آخِرِهِ.
And it was so, whenever Abu Ja’far-asws travelled, he-asws would gather his-asws dependants in a room, then he-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! I-asws am entrusting You-azwj’ – up to its end’’.[246]
وَ عَنْ صَبَّاحٍ الْحَذَّاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ لَوْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمْ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَراً قَامَ عَلَى بَابِ دَارِهِ تِلْقَاءَ الْوَجْهِ الَّذِي يَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَرَأَ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ أَمَامَهُ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ أَمَامَهُ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ
And from Sabah Al Haza’a who said,
‘I heard Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws saying: ‘If the man from you, whenever he intended a journey, were to stand at the door of his house facing the direction which he is heading to, then recite Surah Al Fatiha in front of him, and on his right, and on his left, and Ayat Al Kursy in front of him, and on his right and on his left.
ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي وَ احْفَظْ مَا مَعِي وَ سَلِّمْنِي وَ سَلِّمْ مَا مَعِي وَ بَلِّغْنِي وَ بَلِّغْ مَا مَعِي بِبَلَاغِكَ الْحَسَنِ الْجَمِيلِ لَحَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ وَ حَفِظَ مَا مَعَهُ وَ سَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ سَلَّمَ مَا مَعَهُ وَ بَلَّغَهُ اللَّهُ وَ بَلَّغَ مَا مَعَهُ
Then he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Protect me and Protect what is with me, and Secure me and Secure what is with me, and Make me reach and Make reach whatever is with me with the excellent reaching, the beautiful’ – Allah-azwj will Protect him, and Protect what is with him, and Allah-azwj will Secure him and Secure what is with him, and Allah-azwj will Make him reach and Make reach with is with him’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا صَبَّاحُ أَ مَا رَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يُحْفَظُ وَ لَا يُحْفَظُ مَا مَعَهُ وَ يُسَلَّمُ وَ لَا يُسَلَّمُ مَا مَعَهُ وَ يُبَلَّغُ وَ لَا يُبَلَّغُ مَا مَعَهُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws said: ‘O Sabbah! Have you not seen the man protect while what is with him is not protected; and he is safe while what is with him is not safe, and he reaches while what is him does not reach?’
قُلْتُ بَلَى جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ.
I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you-asws!’’[247]
وَ كَانَ الصَّادِقُ ع إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَراً قَالَ- اللَّهُمَّ خَلِّ سَبِيلَنَا وَ أَحْسِنْ تَسْيِيرَنَا وَ أَعْظِمْ عَافِيَتَنَا.
And Al-Sadiq-asws, whenever he-asws wanted to travel, said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Free our-asws way and Improve our travel, and better our-asws well-being’’.[248]
عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: إِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ فِي سَفَرٍ أَوْ حَضَرٍ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ- لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
From Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘Whenever you go out from your house in a journey, or stay, then say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! I believe in Allah-azwj. I rely upon Allah-azwj. Whatever Allah‑azwj so Desires. There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’
فَيَتَلَقَّاهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ فَتَضْرِبُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وُجُوهَهَا وَ تَقُولُ مَا سَبِيلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ سَمَّى اللَّهَ وَ آمَنَ بِهِ وَ تَوَكَّلَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ ما شاءَ اللَّهُ لا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ.
(If) the Satans-la meet him, the Angels will strike their faces and say, ‘There is no way for you‑la upon him, and he has already named Allah-azwj, and believes in Him-azwj, and relied upon Him‑azwj, and he said, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires. There is no strength except with Allah‑azwj’’.[249]
عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ خَرَجَ مِنْ دَارِهِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِمَّا عَاذَتْ مِنْهُ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَنْ نَصَبَ لِأَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ السِّبَاعِ وَ الْهَوَامِّ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ رُكُوبِ الْمَحَارِمِ كُلِّهَا أُجِيرُ نَفْسِي بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ تَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَ كَفَاهُ الْمُهِمَّ وَ حَجَزَهُ عَنِ السُّوءِ وَ عَصَمَهُ مِنَ الشَّرِّ.
From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘One who says when he goes out from his house, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from what the Angels of Allah-azwj has sought Refuge from, from evil of this day, and from evil of Satans-la, and from evil of ones hostile to the friends of Allah-azwj, and from evil of the Jinn and the humans, and from evil of the wild animals and the vermin, and from evil of indulging in the Prohibitions, all of them! I shelter myself with Allah-azwj from evil of all things!’ – Allah-azwj will Forgive (his sins) for him, and Turn to him, and Suffice him of the important matters, and Cut him from the evil, and Protect him from the evil’’.[250]
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَمْ يُرِدْ سَفَراً إِلَّا قَالَ حِينَ يَنْهَضُ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ أَوْ مِنْ جُلُوسِهِ- اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ انْتَشَرْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ وَ بِكَ اعْتَصَمْتُ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي وَ رَجَائِي
From Anas Bin Malik (a well-known fabricator), said,
‘Rasool-Allah-azwj did not intend a journey except he-saww said when he-saww got up from his‑saww seat: ‘O Allah-azwj! With You-azwj I-saww seek, and to You-azwj I-saww divert, and by You-azwj I-saww protect! You-azwj are my-saww trusted, and my-saww hope!
اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي وَ مَا لَا أُهَمُّ لَهُ وَ مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي
O Allah-azwj! Suffice me what worries me, and what I-saww am not worried for, and what You‑azwj are more Knowing with than me-saww!
اللَّهُمَّ زَوِّدْنِي التَّقْوَى وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ وَجِّهْنِي إِلَى الْخَيْرِ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهْتُ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ.
O Allah-azwj! Provide me-saww the piety and Forgive for me-saww, and Divert me-saww to the good wherever I-saww divert to!’ Then he-saww would go out’’.[251]
قَالَ: وَ كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي سَفَرِهِ- اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي وَ احْفَظْ مَا مَعِي وَ بَلِّغْنِي وَ بَلِّغْ مَا مَعِي بِبَلَاغِكَ الْحَسَنِ بِاللَّهِ أَسْتَفْتِحُ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَسْتَنْجِحُ وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص أَتَوَجَّهُ
He said,
‘And Abu Abdullah-asws was saying when he-asws went out in a journey: ‘O Allah-azwj! Protect me-asws, and Protect what is with me-asws, and Make me-asws reach and Make reach what is with me-asws with Your-azwj excellent reaching! I-asws being with Allah-azwj, and with Allah-azwj I-asws shall succeed, and by Muhammad-saww I-asws head (forward)!
اللَّهُمَّ سَهِّلْ لِي كُلَّ حُزُونَةٍ وَ ذَلِّلْ لِي كُلَّ صُعُوبَةٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَرْجُو وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَحْذَرُ فِي عَافِيَةٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Ease for me-asws every grief, and Humble for me-asws every difficulty, and Give me-asws from the good, all of it, more than what I-asws am hoping for, and Turn away from me-asws from the evil, more than what I-asws am being cautious of, in well-being, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
أَيْضاً كَانَ يَقُولُ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ مَا دَقَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ بِيَدِهِ أَقْوَاتُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَنْ يَهَبَ لَنَا فِي سَفَرِنَا أَمَنَةً وَ إِيمَاناً وَ سَلَامَةً وَ إِسْلَاماً وَ فِقْهاً وَ تَوْفِيقاً وَ بَرَكَةً وَ هُدًى وَ شُكْراً وَ عَافِيَةً وَ مَغْفِرَةً وَ عَزْماً لَا يُغَادِرُ ذَنْباً.
As well, he-asws was saying: ‘I-asws ask Allah-azwj in Whose Hand is what is intricate and majestic, and in His-azwj Hand are timings of the Angels! Grant security to us in our journey, and Eman, and safety, and Islam, and understanding, and inclination, and Blessings, and Guidance, and thanking, and well-being, and Forgiveness, and determination, not leaving any sin!’’[252]
وَ عَنْهُ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ دَخَلْتُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْتُ وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ
And from him-asws having said: ‘One who says when he goes out from his house, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! In the Name of Allah-azwj! I enter with the Name of Allah-azwj and I exit, and upon Allah-azwj I rely, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted the Magnificent, and Send Salawaat of Allah-azwj upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws!

O Allah-azwj! Begin for me in this direction of mine with goodness! O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from evil of myself, and from evil of others, and from evil of every animal. You‑azwj shall Seize it by its forelock. Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight Path [11:56]’ – would be in the Security of Allah-azwj until he returns to his house’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ- ما شاءَ اللَّهُ لا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا خَرَجْتُ لَهُ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَرَجْتُ لَهُ
He-asws said: ‘Then he should say, ‘I rely upon Allah-azwj. Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires. There is no strength except with Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj of goodness of what I am going out for, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from evil of what I am going out for!

(The book) ‘Makarim Al Akhlaq’ –
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who recites Ayat Al Kursi during the journey, during every night, will be safe and whatever is with him will be safe, and he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Make my travel to be a lesson and my silence to be pondering, and my speech as Zikr’’.[254]

And from what is heard from chief of the imams, advisor of the religion Abu Al Barkaat al Mash’hadi, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from a man who said,
‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws sent to me some bundles of clothes from Khurasan. There was mud between that. I said to the messenger, ‘What is this?’
قَالَ طِينُ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع- مَا يَكَادُ يُوَجِّهُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الثِّيَابِ وَ لَا غَيْرَهُ إِلَّا وَ يَجْعَلُ فِيهِ الطِّينَ وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ أَمَانٌ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى.
‘He said, ‘Clay from the grave of Al-Husayn-asws! He-asws almost does not send anything from the clothes, nor anything else, except and he-asws makes the clay to be in it, and he-asws had said: ‘Safety, by the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted’’.[255]

And the robbers pursued them, until when they descended, they (thieves) sent a slave of their, to look how their state was, whether they were sleeping or they were awake. The slave ended to them, and one of them had placed his side upon his bed, and he had recited Ayat Al Kursy, and had glorified with the Tasbeeh of Fatima-asws’.
قَالَ فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِمَا حَائِطَانِ مَبْنِيَّانِ فَجَاءَ الْغُلَامُ فَطَافَ بِهِمَا فَكُلَّمَا دَارَ لَمْ يَرَ إِلَّا حَائِطَيْنِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ إِلَّا حَائِطَيْنِ مَبْنِيَّيْنِ
He-asws said: ‘There were two built walls around them. The slave came and circled around them. Every time he rotated, he did not see except the walls, so he returned to his companions. He said, ‘No, by Allah-azwj! I did not see except the two built walls!’
فَقَالُوا أَخْزَاكَ اللَّهُ لَقَدْ كَذَبْتَ بَلْ ضَعُفْتَ وَ جَبُنْتَ
They said, ‘May Allah-azwj Disgrace you! You have lied! But, you are weak and a coward!’
فَقَامُوا وَ نَظَرُوا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَّا حَائِطَيْنِ مَبْنِيَّيْنِ فَدَارُوا بِالْحَائِطَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِنْسَاناً فَانْصَرَفُوا إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِمَا فَقَالُوا أَيْنَ كُنْتُمَا فَقَالا مَا كُنَّا إِلَّا هَاهُنَا مَا بَرَحْنَا
They stood up and looked, but did not find except the two built walls. They circled around the walls, but could not see any person, so they left to go to their places. When it was the next morning, they came to them. They said, ‘Where were you two?’ They said, ‘We were not, except over here. We did not depart!’
فَقَالُوا لَقَدْ جِئْنَا فَمَا رَأَيْنَا إِلَّا حَائِطَيْنِ مَبْنِيَّيْنِ فَحَدِّثَانَا مَا قِصَّتُكُمَا
They said, ‘We had come but we could not see except the two built walls, so narrate to us what your stories are!’
فَقَالا أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص- فَعَلَّمَنَا آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ تَسْبِيحَ فَاطِمَةَ ع فَفَعَلْنَا
They said, ‘We had gone to Rasool-Allah-saww, and he-saww taught us Ayat Al Kursy and Tasbeeh of Fatima-asws. We did so’.
فَقَالُوا انْطَلِقُوا فَوَ اللَّهِ لَا نَتَّبِعُكُمْ أَبَداً وَ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْكُمْ لِصٌّ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْكَلَامِ.
They said, ‘Go, for by Allah-azwj, we will not be pursuing you, ever, nor will any thief be able upon you after this speech’’.[256]

The Seyyid, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, said, ‘And if his aim were to sail the ship, not for Ziyarat (visiting Holy Shrines), he should change the wording with what is related with his journey from the phrases’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْفَخْرِ بْنُ قوة [قُرَّةَ] رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ كَانَ رَجُلًا صَالِحاً أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ فِي بَعْضِ مَرَاكِبِ الْبِحَارِ فَأَشْرَفَ أَهْلُ الْمَرْكَبِ عَلَى الْأَخْطَارِ لِقُوَّةِ الرِّيَاحِ وَ كَانَ مَعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ فَاسْتَغَاثُوا بِهِ فَكَتَبَ فِي رُقْعَةٍ لَطِيفَةٍ شَيْئاً وَ رَمَاهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَسَكَنَ الْهَوَاءُ وَ زَالَ الِابْتِلَاءُ
Then he said, ‘And it is narrated to me by Abu Al-Fakhr Bin Quwwat, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, and he was a righteous man that he has sailed in one of the ships of the sea. The people of the ship overlooked upon the danger due to the strength of the winds, and there was a righteous man with them. They cried for help through him. He wrote something subtle in a not and threw it into the sea, and the wind calmed down and the affliction was removed.
فَاجْتَهَدْنَا أَنْ يُعَرِّفَنَا مَا كَتَبَهُ فَامْتَنَعَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْمَرْكَبِ وَ تَبِعْتُهُ مِنْ بَلَدٍ إِلَى بَلَدٍ لِيُعَرِّفَنِي مَا كَتَبَ فَلَمَّا أَلْحَحْتُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا كَتَبْتُ غَيْرَ سُورَةِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
We struggled to let us know what he had written, but he refused from that, and we came out from the ship and I followed him from a city to a city to him to let me know what he had written. When I insisted upon him, he said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I did not write apart from the Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed)’.
أَقُولُ أَنَا وَ لَا رَيْبَ أَنَّهُ كَتَبَهَا بِالْإِخْلَاصِ فَكَانَتْ سَبَبَ الْخَلَاصِ وَ لَوْ كَتَبَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَرْحَمِ لَكَفَى فِي النَّجَاةِ وَ الظَّفَرِ بِالْعِزِّ وَ الْجَاهِ.
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And there is no doubt that he had written (Surah) ‘Al Ikhlaas’, so it was a cause for the salvation, and had he written the Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj the most Merciful, it would have suffice regarding the salvation, and the success, and the glory, and the honour’’.[270]
وَ رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمُجَلَّدِ السَّابِعِ مِنْ مُعْجَمِ الْبُلْدَانِ لِلْحَمَوِيِّ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ يَوْماً بِالْحِيرَةِ فَوَثَبَ إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ الْكَلْبِيُّ
And I saw in the seventh volume of (the book) ‘Mo’jam Al Buldan’ of Al Hamawy, in a translation of Muhammad Bin Al Saib who said,
‘One day I was in Al-Hira, and a man pounced to me. He said, ‘You Al-Kalby?’’
قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ مُفَسِّرُ الْقُرْآنِ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Interpreter of the Quran?’ I said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ إِذا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ جَعَلْنا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ الَّذِينَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ حِجاباً مَسْتُوراً مَا ذَلِكَ الْقُرْآنُ الَّذِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا قَرَأَ حُجِبَ عَنْ عَدُوِّهِ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ
He said, ‘Inform me about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And whenever you recite the Quran, We Make a hidden veil to be between you and those who are no believing in the Hereafter [17:45]. What is that Quran which Rasool-Allah-saww, when he-saww recited it, was veiled from his-saww enemies from the Jinn and the humans?’’
قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ فَتُفَسِّرُ الْقُرْآنَ وَ أَنْتَ لَا تَعْلَمُهُ قُلْتُ أَخْبِرْنِي
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘I don’t know!’ He said, ‘You are an interpreter of the Quran and you don’t know it?’ I said, ‘(You) inform me!’
قَالَ آيَةٌ مِنَ الْكَهْفِ وَ آيَةٌ مِنَ الْجَاثِيَةِ وَ آيَةٌ فِي النَّحْلِ قُلْتُ الْآيَاتُ فِي هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ كَثِيرَةٌ
He said, ‘A Verse from (Surah) Al Kahf, and a Verse from (Surah) Al Jaasiya, and a Verse in (Surah) Al Nahl’. I said, ‘There are many in these Chapters!’
فَقَالَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى أَ فَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلهَهُ هَواهُ وَ أَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلى عِلْمٍ وَ خَتَمَ عَلى سَمْعِهِ وَ قَلْبِهِ وَ جَعَلَ عَلى بَصَرِهِ غِشاوَةً فَمَنْ يَهْدِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ اللَّهِ أَ فَلا تَذَكَّرُونَ
He said, ‘Words of the Exalted: So, do you see one who takes his desires as a god, and Allah Lets him stray upon knowledge and Seals upon his hearing and his heart, and Makes a covering to be upon his sight? Then who can guide him after Allah (has Denied him)? So will you not be mindful? [45:23].
وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِآياتِ رَبِّهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْها وَ نَسِيَ ما قَدَّمَتْ يَداهُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنا عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَ فِي آذانِهِمْ وَقْراً وَ إِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدى فَلَنْ يَهْتَدُوا إِذاً أَبَداً
And Words of Mighty and Majestic: And who is more unjust than one is reminded of the Signs of his Lord, but he turns away from it and forgets what his hands have sent ahead? Surely, We has Made covering to be upon their hearts lest they understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you call them to the Guidance, then they will never be rightly guided, ever! [18:57].
وَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى- أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ سَمْعِهِمْ وَ أَبْصارِهِمْ وَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْغافِلُونَ
And Words of the Exalted: They are those Allah Sealed upon their hearts and their hearing and their sight, and those, they are the heedless ones [16:108].
ثُمَّ الْتَفَتُّ فَلَمْ أَرَهُ فَكَأَنَّمَا ابْتَلَعَتْهُ الْأَرْضَ فَصِرْتُ إِلَى مَجْلِسٍ مِنْ مَجَالِسِي فَتَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ مُدَّةٍ صَارَ إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ حَضَرَ مَجْلِسِي فَقَالَ لِي خَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ أُرِيدُ بَغْدَادَ وَ خَرَجَتْ مَعِي سَفَائِنُ سِتٌّ وَ كَانَتْ سَفِينَتِيَ السَّابِعَةَ فَقَرَأْتُ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ فِي سَفِينَتِي فَنَجَوْتُ وَ قُطِعَ السِّتُّ
Then I turned around, but I could not see him. It was as if the ground had swallowed him. I came to a gathering from my gatherings. I narrated with this Hadeeth. When it was after a period of time, a man from the ones present in my gathering came to me. He said to me, ‘I have come out from Al-Kufa, and I am intending Baghdad, and six boats went out with me, and my boat was the seventh. I recited these Verses in my boat, so I was saved, and the six were cut (broke/drowned)’.
قَالَ وَ ضَرَبَ الدَّهْرُ مِنْ ضَرَبَاتِهِ وَ أَتَانِي رَجُلٌ بَعْدَ سِنِينَ كَثِيرَةً فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيَ وَ قَالَ أَنَا عَتِيقُكَ وَ مَوْلَاكَ
He said, ‘And the times struck from its striking’s, and a man came to me after many years. He greeted unto me and said, ‘I am your freed man and your slave!’
قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ كَذَلِكَ وَ أَنْتَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ
He said, ‘I said, ‘How can it be like that and you are a man from the Arabs?’
قَالَ غَزَوْتُ الدَّيْلَمَ فَأُسِرْتُ فَكُنْتُ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ فَذَكَرْتُ الْآيَاتِ فَقَرَأْتُهَا فَخَرَجْتُ أَرْسُفُ فِي قُيُودِي وَ مَرَرْتُ عَلَى الْمُوَكَّلَةِ بِنَا مِنَ السَّجَّانِينَ وَ غَيْرِهِمْ فَمَا عَرَضَ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى سِرْتُ إِلَى بِلَادِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ أَنَا عَتِيقُكَ وَ مَوْلَاكَ.
He said, ‘I had battled Al-Daylam and was made a captive. I was in their hands for ten years. I remembered the Verses, so I recited them. I came out from my shackles in my prison and passed by the ones allocated with us from the prison guards and others. Not one of them objected to me until I came to a city of Al Islam, and I am your liberated one and your slave’’.[271]
وَ عَنْ مَوْلَانَا عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ يَقْرَأُ عِنْدَ خَوْفِ الْغَرَقِ فَيَسْلَمُ مِمَّا يَخَافُ يَقْرَأُ إِنَّ وَلِيِّيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ وَ هُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصَّالِحِينَ- وَ ما قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَ الْأَرْضُ جَمِيعاً قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ وَ السَّماواتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحانَهُ وَ تَعالى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ.
And from our Master-asws Ali-asws: ‘One should recited during fear of drowning to be safe from what he fears. He should recite: Surely, my Guardian is Allah Who Revealed the Book, and He Befriends the righteous [7:196] And they are not appreciating Allah with the appreciation that is due to Him; and the whole of the earth would be in His Grip on the Day of Judgement, and the skies having been rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorious is He and Exalted from what they are associating [39:67]’’.[272]
51- طا، الأمان رَأَيْتُ بِخَطِّ جَدِّيَ الْمَسْعُودِ وَرَّامِ بْنِ أَبِي فِرَاسٍ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ رُوحَهُ وَ نَوَّرَ ضَرِيحَهُ فِي الْمَعْنَى الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ مَا هَذَا لَفْظُ مَا وَجَدْنَاهُ وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْبَاقِرُ ع أَنَّ قَوْماً خَرَجُوا فِي سَفَرٍ وَ تَوَسَّطُوا مَفَازَةً فِي يَوْمٍ قَائِظٍ فَهَجَرَ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّهَارُ وَ قَدْ نَفِدَ الْمَاءُ وَ الزَّادُ فَأَشْرَفُوا عَلَى الْهَلَكَةِ عَطَشاً
(The book) ‘Al Amaan’ – I saw in the handwriting of my grandfather Al Masoud Warram Bin Abu Firas, may Allah‑azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, Sanctify his soul and Irradiate his tomb, regarding the meaning which we are mentioned what are these wordings of what we found, and are reporting (from),
‘Muhammad-asws Bin Ali Al-Baqir-asws: ‘A group went out in a journey and they were in the middle of the desert during a day of severe heat. The day was of sweltering heat upon them, and the water and the provisions had depleted, so they overlooked upon the destructive thirst.
فَنَقَبُوا أُصُولَ الشَّجَرِ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ بَيَاضُ الثِّيَابِ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ سَلَامٌ فَقَالُوا سَلَامٌ قَالَ مَا حَالُكُمْ قَالُوا مَا تَرَى
They devoted to the base of a tree, and there was man having white clothes upon him standing by them. He said, ‘Greetings!’ They said, ‘Greetings!’ He said, ‘What are your states?’ They said, ‘What you can see’.
قَالَ بَشِّرُوا بِالسَّلَامَةِ فَإِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ أَسْلَمْتُ عَلَى يَدِ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص- فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ عَيْنُهُ وَ دَلِيلُهُ فَمَا كُنْتُمْ لِتَهْلِكُوا بِحَضْرَتِي اتْلُونِي
He said, ‘Receive glad tidings with the safety, for I am a man from the Jinn! I had become a Muslim upon the hand of Abu Al-Qasim Muhammad-saww. I heard him-saww saying, the Momin are his-saww eyes and his-saww pointers, so you will not be destroyed in my presence. Come with me!’
فَتَلَوْنَاهُ فَأَوْرَدَنَا عَلَى مَاءٍ وَ كِلَاءٍ فَأَخَذْنَا حَاجَتَنَا وَ مَضَيْنَا
We went with him, and he made us arrive to water and vegetation. We took our need and continued’.
أَقُولُ أَنَا وَ هَذَا مِنْ مُعْجِزَاتِهِ ص وَ كَرَامَاتِهِ.
I-asws saying: ‘And this is from his-saww miracles and his-saww extraordinary acts’’.[273]
52- طا، الأمان فِيمَا نَذْكُرُهُ إِذَا خَافَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ مِنَ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ اللُّصُوصِ وَ هُوَ مِنْ أَدْعِيَةِ السِّرِّ الْمَنْصُوصِ يَا آخِذاً بِنَوَاصِي خَلْقِهِ وَ السَّافِعَ بِهَا إِلَى قُدْرَتِهِ وَ الْمُنْفِذَ فِيهَا حُكْمَهُ وَ خَالِقَهَا وَ جَاعِلَ قَضَائِهِ لَهَا غَالِباً
(The book) ‘Al Amaan’ –
‘Among what we are mentioning, when someone fears in his road from the enemies and the robbers, and it is from the secretive supplication, the texted: ‘O One-azwj Who Seizes His-azwj creatures by their forelocks, and the Violent Puller to His-azwj Power, and the Implementor of His-azwj Decision in it, and its Creator, and Maker of His-azwj Decree for it to prevail!
إِنِّي مَكِيدٌ بِضَعْفِي وَ بِقُوَّتِكَ عَلَى مَنْ كَادَنِي تَعَرَّضْتُ فَإِنْ حُلْتَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَذَلِكَ مَا أَرْجُو وَ إِنْ أَسْلَمْتَنِي إِلَيْهِمْ غَيَّرُوا مَا بِي مِنْ نِعْمَتِكَ
I am being plotted against due to my weakness, and I am exposing with Your-azwj Strength against the ones plotting against me, so if You-azwj were to Solve between me and them, that is what I am hoping for, and if You-azwj were to Yield me to them, it will change what is with me of Your-azwj bounties.
يَا خَيْرَ الْمُنْعِمِينَ لَا تَجْعَلْ أَحَداً مُغَيِّراً نِعَمَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ بِهَا عَلَيَّ سِوَاكَ وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْهَا أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَ قَدْ تَرَى الَّذِي نَزَلَ بِي فَحُلْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ شَرِّهِمْ بِحَقِّ مَا تَسْتَجِيبُ بِهِ الدُّعَاءَ يَا اللَّهُ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
O best of the Bestowers! Do not Make anyone besides You-azwj to change Your-azwj bounties which You-azwj have Bestowed with upon me, and You-azwj don’t Change it, my Lord-azwj, and You-azwj can See that which has befallen with me, therefore Resolve between me and their evil, by the right of what the supplication can be Answered with, O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
وَ تَقُولُ أَيْضاً- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
And you should say as well, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah-azwj, and from Allah-azwj, and to Allah-azwj, and in the Way of Allah-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَ إِلَيْكَ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي وَ إِلَيْكَ فَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي فَاحْفَظْنِي بِحِفْظِ الْإِيمَانِ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ عَنْ شِمَالِي وَ مِنْ فَوْقِي وَ مِنْ تَحْتِي وَ ادْفَعْ عَنِّي بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
O Allah-azwj! I submit myself to You-azwj and divert my face to You-azwj, and I delegate my affairs to You-azwj. Protect me with the protection of the Eman, from my front, and my back, and from my right, and from my left, and from above me, and from under me, and Defend me by Your‑azwj Mighty and Your-azwj Strength, for there is neither any might nor any strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!’
فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ زَيْنِ الْعَابِدِينَ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا أُبَالِي إِنْ قُلْتُ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ لَوِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيَّ الْجِنُّ وَ الْإِنْسُ
It has been reported from Zayn Al-Abideen (Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws) having said: ‘If I-asws were to say these phrases, I-asws would not care if the Jinn and the humans were to gather against me-asws!’
ذِكْرُ آيَاتٍ يَحْتَجِبُ الْإِنْسَانُ بِهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَدَاوَاتِ تُومِئُ بِيَدِكَ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى مَنْ تَخَافُ شَرَّهُ وَ تَقُولُ وَ جَعَلْنا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْناهُمْ فَهُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ-
Mention of the Verses the human being can veil with from the people of enmity. You should gesture by your right hand towards the one you fear his evil, and you should say: And We Made a barrier to be from their front and a barrier from their back, and We Covered them, so they are not seeing [36:9].
إِنَّا جَعَلْنا عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَ فِي آذانِهِمْ وَقْراً وَ إِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدى فَلَنْ يَهْتَدُوا إِذاً أَبَداً-
Surely, We has Made covering to be upon their hearts lest they understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you call them to the Guidance, then they will never be rightly guided, ever! [18:57].
أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ سَمْعِهِمْ وَ أَبْصارِهِمْ وَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْغافِلُونَ-
They are those Allah Sealed upon their hearts and their hearing and their sight, and those, they are the heedless ones [16:108].
أَ فَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلهَهُ هَواهُ وَ أَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلى عِلْمٍ وَ خَتَمَ عَلى سَمْعِهِ وَ قَلْبِهِ وَ جَعَلَ عَلى بَصَرِهِ غِشاوَةً فَمَنْ يَهْدِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ اللَّهِ أَ فَلا تَذَكَّرُونَ-
So, do you see one who takes his desires as a god, and Allah Lets him stray upon knowledge and Seals upon his hearing and his heart, and Makes a covering to be upon his sight? Then who can guide him after Allah (has Denied him)? So will you not be mindful? [45:23].
وَ إِذا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ جَعَلْنا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ الَّذِينَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ حِجاباً مَسْتُوراً-
And whenever you recite the Quran, We Make a hidden veil to be between you and those who are no believing in the Hereafter [17:45].
وَ جَعَلْنا عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَ فِي آذانِهِمْ وَقْراً وَ إِذا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَحْدَهُ وَلَّوْا عَلى أَدْبارِهِمْ نُفُوراً.
And We Make a covering to be upon their hearts lest they understand it, and a heaviness to be in their ears. And whenever you mention your Lord in the Quran as being One, they turn around upon their backs in aversion [17:46]’’.[274]
وَ رَأَيْتُ فِي كِتَابِ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى رَجُلٍ وَ هُوَ أَبُو مُعَلًّى مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَقِيَهُ لِصٌّ فَأَرَادَ أَخْذَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَتَرَكَهُ فَصَلَّاهَا وَ سَجَدَ وَ قَالَ فِي سُجُودِهِ يَا وَدُودُ يَا ذَا الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدَ يَا فَعَّالًا لِمَا تُرِيدُ أَسْأَلُكَ بِعِزَّتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُرَامُ- وَ مُلْكِكَ الَّتِي لَا يُضَامُ وَ بِنُورِكَ الَّذِي مَلَأَ أَرْكَانَ عَرْشِكَ أَنْ تَكْفِيَنِي شَرَّ هَذَا اللِّصِّ يَا مُغِيثُ أَغِثْنِي
And I saw in ‘Kitab Al Mustagiseen’ – by his chain to a man, and he is Abu Moalla from the Helpers,
‘A robber met him and wanted to seize him. He asked him if he could pray four Cycles. He left him, so he prayed these and performed Sajdah and said in his Sajdah, ‘O Affectionate! O with the Glorious Throne! O One-azwj Who Does whatever He-azwj Wants! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Might which cannot be broken, and Your-azwj Kingdom which cannot be controlled (by anyone else), and by Your-azwj Noor which Fills the corners of Your-azwj Throne! Suffice me for evil of this robber, O Helper, Help me!’
وَ كَرَّرَ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِذَا بِفَارِسٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ بِيَدِهِ حَرْبَةٌ فَقَتَلَ اللِّصَّ وَ قَالَ لَهُ أَنَا مَلَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الرَّابِعَةِ وَ إِنَّ مَنْ صَنَعَ كَمَا صَنَعْتَ اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ مَكْرُوباً كَانَ أَوْ غَيْرَ مَكْرُوبٍ.
And he repeated this supplication three times, and behold, there was a horseman coming over having a bayonet in his hand. He killed the robber and said to him: ‘I am an Angel from the fourth sky, and the one who does like what you have done, I shall answer to him, whether he were to be distressed or not distressed’’.[275]
وَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ أَنَّهُ ظَفَرَ بِهِ لِصٌّ وَ أَرَادَ قَتْلَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ دَعْنِي أُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَخَلَّاهُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْهُمَا قَالَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ- فَسَمِعَ اللِّصُّ قَائِلًا يَقُولُ لَا تَقْتُلْهُ
And from the mentioned book, by his chain, from Zayd Bin Harisa,
‘A thief won with him and wanted to kill him. He said to him, ‘Leave me to pray two Cycles Salat’. He left him along. When he was free from praying them, he said, ‘O most Merciful of the merciful one!’ The thief heard a speaker saying: ‘Do not kill him!’
فَعَادَ فَقَالَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ فَسَمِعَ اللِّصُّ قَائِلًا يَقُولُ لَا تَقْتُلْهُ
He repeated, he said, ‘O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’ The thief heard a speaker saying: ‘Do not kill him!’
فَقَالَ مَرَّةً ثَالِثَةً يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ إِذَا بِفَارِسٍ بِيَدِهِ حَرْبَةٌ فِي رَأْسِهَا شُعْلَةُ نَارٍ فَقَتَلَ اللِّصَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْمَأْخُوذِ لَمَّا قُلْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ كُنْتُ فِي السَّمَاءِ الرَّابِعَةِ فَلَمَّا قُلْتَ ثَانِيَةً كُنْتُ فِي السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَلَمَّا قُلْتَ ثَالِثَةً يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ أَتَيْتُكَ.
He said the third time, ‘O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’, and behold, there was a horseman having a bayonet in his hand, and a flame of fire in its head. He killed the robber, then said to the seized one: ‘When you said, ‘O most Merciful of the merciful ones’, I was in the fourth sky. When you said it secondly, I was in the sky of the world. When you said thirdly, ‘O most Merciful of the merciful one!’, I came to you!’’[276]
وَ رَأَيْتُ فِي الْجُزْءِ الرَّابِعِ مِنْ كِتَابِ دَفْعِ الْهُمُومِ وَ الْأَحْزَانِ تَأْلِيفِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ النُعْمَانِيِّ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قُلْتُ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لَيْلَةَ صِفِّينَ أَ مَا تَرَى الْأَعْدَاءَ قَدْ أَحْدَقُوا بِنَا
And I saw in the fourth volume of the book ‘Kitab Daf’a Al Humoum Wa Al Ahzaan’, compiled by Ahmad Bin Dawood Al Numani,
‘Ibn Abbas said, ‘I said to Amir Al-Momineen-asws on a night of (battle of) Siffeen, ‘Can you-asws see the enemies to have surrounded us?’
فَقَالَ وَ قَدْ رَاعَكَ هَذَا
He-asws said: ‘And this has scared you?’
قُلْتُ نَعَمْ
I said, ‘Yes’.
فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَضِلَّ فِي هُدَاكَ
He-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! I-asws seek Refuge with You-azwj from straying in Your-azwj Guidance!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَفْتَقِرَ فِي غِنَاكَ
O Allah-azwj! I-asws seek Refuge with You-azwj from being impoverished in Your-azwj riches!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُضَيَّعَ فِي سَلَامَتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I-asws seek Refuge with You-azwj from being wasted in Your-azwj Safety!’
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُغْلَبَ وَ الْأَمْرُ لَكَ
O Allah-azwj! I-asws seek Refuge with You-azwj from being overcome, and the matter is for You‑azwj (to Decide)!’
أَقُولُ أَنَا فَكَفَاهُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ أَمْرَهُمْ.
I (Ibn Abbas) am saying, ‘Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty Sufficed him of their matter’’.[277]
53- طا، الأمان فِيمَا نَذْكُرُهُ إِذَا خَافَ مِنَ الْمَطَرِ فِي سَفَرِهِ وَ كَيْفَ يَسْلَمُ مِنْ ضَرَرِهِ وَ إِذَا عَطِشَ كَيْفَ يُغَاثُ وَ يَأْمَنُ خَطَرَهُ رُوِّينَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ فِي كِتَابِ دَلَائِلِ الرِّضَا ع بِإِسْنَادِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَهُ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ بَعْضَ أَمْوَالِهِ فَأَمَرَ غُلَاماً لَهُ يَحْمِلُ لَهُ قَبَاءً فَعَجِبْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ قُلْتُ مَا يَصْنَعُ بِهِ
(The book) ‘Al Amaan’ – Among what we are mentioning, whenever someone fears from the rain during his journey and how he can be safe from its harm, and when he is thirsty how he should cry out for help and be safe of its danger, we are reporting by our chain to Abdullah Bin Al Himeyri, in the book ‘Dalail Al-Reza-asws’, by a chain of Al Himeyri to Suleyman Al Jafary,
‘To Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I was with him-asws while he-asws wanted going to one of his-asws estates. He-asws ordered a slave of his-asws to carry a cloak for him-asws. I was surprised from that and said (to myself), ‘What will he-asws do with it?’
فَلَمَّا صِرْنَا فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ نَزَلْنَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَ أَقْبَلَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَأَلْقَوُا الْقَبَاءَ عَلَيَّ وَ عَلَيْهِ وَ خَرَّ سَاجِداً فَسَجَدْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي وَ بَقِيَ سَاجِداً فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكُفَّ الْمَطَرُ.
When we went in one of the roads, we descended for the Salat, and the sky came (darkened). He-asws cast the cloak upon me and him-asws and fell into Sajdah. So I performed Sajdah with him-asws, then I raised my head and he-asws remained in Sajdah. I heard him-asws saying: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww!’ The rain withheld’’.[278]
وَ وَجَدْتُ فِي حَدِيثٍ حَذَفْتُ إِسْنَادَهُ أَنَّ الْحَاجَّ تَعَذَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ وُجُودُ الْمَاءِ حَتَّى أَشْرَفُوا عَلَى الْمَوْتِ وَ الْفَنَاءِ فَغُشِيَ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمْ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مَغْشِيّاً عَلَيْهِ فَرَأَى فِي حَالِ غَشْيَتِهِ مَوْلَانَا عَلِيّاً صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقُولُ لَهُ مَا أَغْفَلَكَ عَنْ كَلِمَةِ النَّجَاةِ
And I found in a Hadeeth, it’s attributed was deleted, that (some) pilgrims (to Makkah), couldn’t find the water until they were on the verge of death and the annihilation. One of them fainted and fell down upon the ground unconscious. In the state of his unconsciousness, he saw our Master-asws Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, saying to him: ‘What makes you so heedless from the words of salvation?’
فَقَالَ لَهُ وَ مَا كَلِمَةُ النَّجَاةِ
He said to him-asws, ‘And what are the words of salvation?’
فَقَالَ ع قُلْ- أَدِمْ مُلْكَكَ عَلَى مُلْكِكَ بِلُطْفِكَ الْخَفِيِّ وَ أَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ
He-asws said: ‘Say, ‘Establish Your-azwj Kingdom upon Your-azwj owned slaves by Your-azwj Hidden subtleness’, and I-asws am Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws!’
فَجَلَسَ مِنْ غَشْيَتِهِ وَ دَعَا بِهَا فَأَنْشَأَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ غَمَاماً فِي غَيْرِ زَمَانِهِ وَ رَمَى غَيْثاً عَاشَ بِهِ الْحَاجُّ عَلَى عَوَائِدِ عَفْوِهِ وَ جُودِهِ وَ إِحْسَانِهِ.
He sat up from his unconsciousness and supplicated with it. Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majestic, Grew a cloud in other than its time, and Pelted such a downpour, the pilgrims lived by it on the proceeds of His-azwj Pardon, and His-azwj Generosity, and His-azwj Favour’’.[279]
وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ نِيَّةِ الدَّاعِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ أَمَانٌ لِأُمَّتِي مِنَ السَّرَقِ قُلِ ادْعُوا اللَّهَ أَوِ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمنَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً.
And from the book ‘Niyyat Al Daie’ –
‘From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘O Ali-asws! Safety for my-saww community from the theft, Say: ‘Supplicate to Allah or supplicate to the Beneficent. [17:110] – up to His-azwj Words: and exclaim His Greatness with exclamations’ [17:111]’’.[280]
54- طا، الأمان فِيمَا نَذْكُرُهُ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ الْفَاضِلِ إِذَا أُشْرِفَ عَلَى بَلَدٍ أَوْ قَرْيَةٍ أَوْ بَعْضِ الْمَنَازِلِ رَوَيْنَا مِنْ عِدَّةِ طُرُقٍ وَ نَذْكُرُ لَفْظَ مَا نَقَلْنَا وَ بَعْضَ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ مِصْبَاحِ الزَّائِرِ وَ جَنَاحِ الْمُسَافِرِ
(The book) ‘Al Amaan’ –
‘Among what we are mentioned from the meritorious supplication when overlooking upon a city or a town or one of the junctions, we are reporting from a number of ways, and we mention wording of what we are transmitting, and part of what we are mentioning from the book, ‘Misbah Al-Zaair Wa Junah Al-Musafir’: –
فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا أَظَلَّتْ وَ رَبَّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا أَقَلَّتْ وَ رَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ مَا أَضَلَّتْ وَ رَبَّ الرِّيَاحِ وَ مَا ذَرَتْ وَ الْبِحَارِ وَ مَا جَرَتْ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ وَ خَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا
‘Let him say, ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the seven skies and what they shade, and Lord-azwj of the seven earths and what they carry, and Lord-azwj of the Satans-la and what they-la stray, and Lord-azwj of the winds and what they scatter, and the oceans and what they flow! I ask You-azwj for goodness of the is town, and goodness of what is in it, and I seek Refuge with You from its evil, and evil of what is in it!
اللَّهُمَّ يَسِّرْ لِي مَا كَانَ فِيهَا مِنْ يُسْرٍ وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى قَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي يَا قَاضِيَ الْحَاجَاتِ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ الدَّعَوَاتِ- أَدْخِلْنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَ أَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطاناً نَصِيراً.
O Allah-azwj! Ease for me whatever were to be in it from easiness, and Assist me upon fulfilment of my needs, O Fulfiller of the needs, and O Answerer of the supplications! Cause me to enter a correct entrance, and Cause me to go exit a correct exit, and Make for me from Yourself a (Divine) Authority, a persistent helper [17:80]’’.[281]
55- غو، غوالي اللئالي فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص إِذَا كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ قَبْلَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ يَا أَرْضُ رَبِّي وَ رَبُّكِ اللَّهُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيكِ وَ شَرِّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَيْكِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ أَسَدٍ وَ أَسْوَدَ مِنَ الْحَيَّةِ وَ الْعَقْرَبِ وَ مِنْ سَاكِنِ الْبَلَدِ وَ مِنْ والِدٍ وَ ما وَلَدَ.
(The book) ‘Gawaly Al La’aly’ –
‘In the Hadeeth, whenever the Prophet-saww was in a journey before the night, he-saww said: ‘O ground! My-saww Lord-azwj and your Lord-azwj is Allah-azwj! I-saww seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from evil of what is in You-azwj, and evil of what walks upon you, and I-saww seek Refuge from evil of every lion and wild animal, from the snakes and the scorpions, and from dwellers of the city, and from a father and what he begets’’.[282]
طا، الأمان مِنْ كِتَابِ التَّذْيِيلِ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النَّجَّارِ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا غَزَا أَوْ سَافَرَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ اللَّيْلُ قَالَ يَا أَرْضُ وَ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ.
(The book) ‘Al Amaan’ – from ‘Kitab Al Tazleel’ of Muhammad Bin Al Najjar who said,
‘It was so, whenever Rasool-Allah-saww went on a military expedition or a journey, and the night came across him-saww, said: ‘O ground!’ – and he mentioned similar to it’’.[283]
56- طا، الأمان رُوِيَ أَنَّ الْمُسَافِرَ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِبَعْضِ الْمَنَازِلِ يَقُولُ- اللَّهُمَ أَنْزِلْنِي مُنْزَلًا مُبارَكاً وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِينَ وَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالْحَمْدِ وَ مَا يَشَاءُ مِنَ السُّوَرِ الْقِصَارِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةِ وَ أَعِذْنَا مِنْ شَرِّهَا
(The book) ‘Al Amaan’ –
‘It is reported that the traveller, when he descends in one of the pausing stops, should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Disembark me in a Blessed landing, and you are the best of the Landers’ [23:29], and he should pray two Cycles with (Surah) Al Hamd and whatever he so desires from the short Surahs, and he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Grace us goodness of this spot, and Shelter us from its evil!
اللَّهُمَّ أَطْعِمْنَا مِنْ جَنَاهَا وَ أَعِذْنَا مِنْ وَبَاهَا وَ حَبِّبْنَا إِلَى أَهْلِهَا وَ حَبِّبْ صَالِحِي أَهْلِهَا إِلَيْنَا
O Allah-azwj Feed us from its harvest, and Shelter us from its plague, and Cause us to be beloved to its inhabitants, and Cause its righteous people to be beloved to us!’
وَ يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ أَئِمَّةٌ أَتَوَلَّاهُمْ وَ أَبْرَأُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ
And he should say, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone. There is no associate for Him-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and that Ali-asws is Emir of the Momineen, and the Imams-asws from his-asws sons-asws are Imams-asws I befriend, and I disavow from their-asws enemies!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj the goodness of this spot, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from it’s evil!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ أَوَّلَ دُخُولِنَا هَذَا صَلَاحاً وَ أَوْسَطَهُ فَلَاحاً وَ آخِرَهُ نَجَاحاً
O Allah-azwj! Make the beginning of our entrance to be righteous, and its middle to be successful, and its end to be profitable!’
وَ إِذَا خِفْتَ فِي مَنْزِلِكَ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَوَامِّ الْأَرْضِ فَقُلْ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي تَخَافُ ذَلِكَ فِيهِ وَ هُوَ مِنْ أَدْعِيَةِ السِّرِّ- يَا ذَارِئَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا لِعِلْمِكَ بِمَا يَكُونُ مِمَّا ذَرَأْتَ لَكَ السُّلْطَانُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ دُونَكَ
And when you fear something in your house from the vermin of the earth, say in the place which you are fearing that, and it is from the secretive supplications, ‘O Multiplier of the one in the earth, all of them are in Your-azwj Knowledge with what is to happen from what the Authority has Produced for You-azwj upon every one below You-azwj!
إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يَضُرُّ مِنَ الضُّرِّ فِي بَدَنِي مِنْ سَبُعٍ أَوْ هَامَّةٍ أَوْ عَارِضٍ مِنْ سَائِرِ الدَّوَابِّ يَا خَالِقَهَا بِفِطْرَتِهِ ادْرَأْهَا عَنِّي وَ احْجُزْهَا وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْهَا عَلَيَّ وَ عَافِنِي مِنْ بَأْسِهَا
I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Power upon all things harmful, from the harm in my body, from a wild animal, or insect, or one presenting from rest of the animals, O its Creator with its nature. Turn it away from me and Cut it out, and do not Let it overcome upon me, and Grant me well-being from its evil.
يَا اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ احْفَظْنِي بِحِفْظِكَ وَ أَجِنَّنِي بِسِتْرِكَ الْوَاقِي مِنْ مَخَاوِفِي يَا رَحِيمُ.
O Allah-azwj, the Exalted, the Magnificent! Protect me with Your-azwj Protection and Shield me with Your-azwj Covering saving from my fear, O Merciful!’’[284]
وَ قَالَ الطَّبْرِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْآدَابِ الدِّينِيَّةِ وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ الرَّحِيلَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ ادْعُ اللَّهَ بِالْحِفْظِ وَ الْكِلَاءَةِ وَ وَدِّعِ الْمَوْضِعَ وَ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَوْضِعٍ أَهْلًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ الْحَافِظِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ.
And Al Tabarsee, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, said in ‘Kitab Al Adaab Al Diniyya’,
‘And when you want to depart, then pray two Cycles Salat and supplicate to Allah-azwj for the Protection and the Guardian, and bid farewell to the place and its people, because for every place there are inhabitants from the Angels, and say, ‘The greetings be upon the Protecting Angels of Allah-azwj! The greetings be upon us, and upon the righteous servants of Allah-azwj, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’’[285]
57- مِنَ الْمَزَارِ الْكَبِيرِ، فَإِذَا أَجْمَعَ رَأْيُكَ عَلَى الْخُرُوجِ وَ أَرَدْتَهُ فَأَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ وَ اجْمَعْ أَهْلَكَ ثُمَّ قُمْ إِلَى مُصَلَّاكَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا مَا شِئْتَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
From (the book) ‘Al Mazar Al Kabeer’ –
‘When you have gathered your view upon the going out and intend it, so perfect the Wud’u and gather your family, then stand in your prayer mat and pray two Cycles Salat, then recite in these whatever you so desire from the Quran.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْهُمَا وَ سَلِمْتَ فَقُلِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي- وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي وَ خَاتِمَةَ عَمَلِي
When you are free from these and have performed Salaam, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I entrust You-azwj myself, and my family, and my wealth, and my children, and my world, and my Hereafter, and ending of my deeds!
اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظِ الشَّاهِدَ مِنَّا وَ الْغَائِبَ اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنَا وَ احْفَظْ عَلَيْنَا اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا فِي جِوَارِكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَسْلُبْنَا نِعْمَتَكَ وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ مَا بِنَا مِنْ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ.
O Allah-azwj! Protect the attendee from us and the absentee! O Allah-azwj! Protect us and Protect upon us! O Allah-azwj Make us to be in Your-azwj Vicinity! O Allah-azwj! Do not Strip us Your-azwj bounties and do not change with us from Your-azwj Given well-being and Your-azwj Grace!’’
وَ تَقُولُ أَيْضاً مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ مَوْلَانَا الْبَاقِرِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِذَا عَزَمْتَ عَلَى السَّفَرِ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ الْأَوَّلَةَ بِالْحَمْدِ وَ سُورَةِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ الثَّانِيَةَ بِالْحَمْدِ وَ سُورَةِ الْوَاقِعَةِ أَوْ تَبَارَكَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَتَأَتَّ لَكَ ذَلِكَ فَاقْرَأْ مِنَ السُّوَرِ مَا شِئْتَ حَسَبَ الْعَجَلَةِ
And you should say as well what is reported from our Master-asws Al-Baqir Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws having said: ‘When you determine upon the journey, then perform Wud’u, and pray two Cycles Salat, the first with (Surah) Al Hamd and (Surah) Al Rahman, and the second with (Surah) Al Hamd and (Surah) Al Waqia, or (Surah) Al Mulk. If that does not come to you, then recite from the Chapters whatever you desire according to the haste.
ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا بِلَا ثِقَةٍ مِنِّي بِغَيْرِكَ وَ لَا رَجَاءٍ يَأْوِي إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ وَ لَا قُوَّةٍ أَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهَا وَ لَا حِيلَةٍ أَلْجَأُ إِلَيْهَا إِلَّا طَلَبَ فَضْلِكَ وَ ابْتِغَاءَ رِزْقِكَ وَ تَعَرُّضاً لِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ سُكُوناً إِلَى حُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ
The supplicate with this supplication, ‘O Allah-azwj!

And when you want to depart from the house, then pray two Cycles delegating as well, and supplicate to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic for the Protection and the Guarding, and bid farewell to the place and its inhabitants, for there are inhabitants from the Angels for every place, and say, ‘The greetings be upon the Protecting Angels of Allah-azwj!

I said, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from that!’
فَقَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ تَذْبَحُ لَهُمْ فِي كُلِّ مَنْزِلٍ شَاةً

He-asws said: ‘Were you not seeing that among them could be someone who loves to do your deed, but his ability could not reach that, and his soul would be inadequate to him?’
قُلْتُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ لَا أَعُودُ.

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Al Minqary, from Hammad Bin Usman, or Ibn Isa,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Luqman-as said to his-as son: ‘Whenever you travel with a group, take a lot of advice about them for your affairs and their affairs, and smile frequently in their faces, and be generous with your provisions.
وَ إِذَا دَعَوْكَ فَأَجِبْهُمْ وَ إِذَا اسْتَعَانُوكَ فَأَعِنْهُمْ وَ اغْلِبْهُمْ بِثَلَاثٍ طُولِ الصَّمْتِ وَ كَثْرَةِ الصَّلَاةِ وَ سَخَاءِ النَّفْسِ بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ أَوْ مَالٍ أَوْ زَادٍ
And if they call you, respond to them, and if they seek your support, help them. And be overcome them with three things – the length of silence, and the frequency of the Salat, and generosity of the self with whatever is with you from the animal, or wealth, or provisions.
وَ إِذَا اسْتَشْهَدُوكَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ فَاشْهَدْ لَهُمْ وَ اجْهَدْ رَأْيَكَ لَهُمْ إِذَا اسْتَشَارُوكَ وَ لَا تَعْزِمْ حَتَّى تَثَبَّتَ وَ تَنْظُرَ وَ لَا تُجِبْ فِي مَشُورَةٍ حَتَّى تَقُومَ فِيهَا وَ تَقْعُدَ وَ تَنَامَ وَ تَأْكُلَ وَ تُصَلِّيَ وَ أَنْتَ مُسْتَعْمِلٌ فِكْرَتَكَ وَ حِكْمَتَكَ فِي مَشُورَتِهِ
And if they ask you to testify to the Truth, so testify for it, and exhaust your opinion for them if they consult you. Then do not advise them until you are sure about it and reconsider it, and do not answer in your advice until you stand regarding it, and sit, and sleep, and eat, and pray Salat, and you are utilising your thoughts and your wisdom with regards to his consultation.
فَإِنَّ مَنْ لَمْ يُمْحِضِ النَّصِيحَةَ لِمَنِ اسْتَشَارَهُ سَلَبَهُ اللَّهُ رَأْيَهُ وَ نَزَعَ عَنْهُ الْأَمَانَةَ
The one who does not refine his advice for the one who consulted him, Allah–azwj Strips his opinion, and Removes the trust-worthiness from him.
وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ أَصْحَابَكَ يَمْشُونَ فَامْشِ مَعَهُمْ وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ يَعْمَلُونَ فَاعْمَلْ مَعَهُمْ وَ إِذَا تَصَدَّقُوا وَ أَعْطَوْا قَرْضاً فَأَعْطِ مَعَهُمْ
And if you see your companions walking, you should walk with them, and if you see them doing something, do it with them, and if they give charity and give a loan, so give with them.
وَ اسْمَعْ مِمَّنْ هُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْكَ سِنّاً وَ إِذَا أَمَرُوكَ بِأَمْرٍ وَ سَأَلُوكَ فَتَبَرَّعْ لَهُمْ وَ قُلْ نَعَمْ وَ لَا تَقُلْ لَا فَإِنَّ لَا عَيٌّ وَ لُؤْمٌ
And listen to the one who is older than you in age, and if he orders you and asks you, so say, Yes’, and do not say, ‘No’, for the ‘No’ is a fault and blameable.
وَ إِذَا تَحَيَّرْتُمْ فِي طَرِيقِكُمْ فَانْزِلُوا وَ إِنْ شَكَكْتُمْ فِي الْقَصْدِ فَقِفُوا وَ تَؤَامَرُوا
And if you are confused regarding your road, so stop and encamp, and if you are in doubt regarding the intended course, pause and plan.
وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ شَخْصاً وَاحِداً فَلَا تَسْأَلُوهُ عَنْ طَرِيقِكُمْ وَ لَا تَسْتَرْشِدُوهُ فَإِنَّ الشَّخْصَ الْوَاحِدَ فِي الْفَلَاةِ مُرِيبٌ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَيْناً لِلُّصُوصِ أَوْ أَنْ يَكُونَ هُوَ الشَّيْطَانَ الَّذِي حَيَّرَكُمْ
And if you see one person, do not ask him about your direction of road, and do not heed his guidance, for the one person in the wild is suspect for he could be an eye (spy) for the thieves, or he could be the Satan–la who confuses you.
وَ احْذَرُوا الشَّخْصَيْنِ أَيْضاً إِلَّا أَنْ تَرَوْا مَا لَا أَرَى فَإِنَّ الْعَاقِلَ إِذَا نَظَرَ بِعَيْنَيْهِ شَيْئاً عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ مِنْهُ وَ الشَّاهِدَ يَرَى مَا لَا يَرَى الْغَائِبُ
And be cautious of two persons as well, unless you can see what I–as don’t, for the intellectual, when he sees something with his own eyes recognises the truth from it, and the witness can see what the absentee does not.
يَا بُنَيَّ وَ إِذَا جَاءَ وَقْتُ الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا تُؤَخِّرْهَا لِشَيْءٍ وَ صَلِّهَا وَ اسْتَرِحْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّهَا دَيْنٌ وَ صَلِّ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ وَ لَوْ عَلَى رَأْسِ زُجٍّ
O my son! And when the time of Salaat comes up, do not delay it for anything, and offer Salaat and seek comfort from it for it is the religion. And pray Salat in congregation even if there is pushing upon the head.
وَ لَا تَنَامَنَّ عَلَى دَابَّتِكَ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ سَرِيعٌ فِي دَبَرِهَا وَ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ فِعْلِ الْحُكَمَاءِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ فِي مَحْمِلٍ يُمْكِنُكَ التَّمَدُّدُ- لِاسْتِرْخَاءِ الْمَفَاصِلِ
And do not sleep upon your animal for that is injurious to its back, and that is not from the actions of the wise except if you are in a carriage and it is possible for you to stretch your joints.
وَ إِذَا قَرُبْتَ مِنَ الْمَنْزِلِ فَانْزِلْ عَنْ دَابَّتِكَ فَإِنَّهَا تُعِينُكَ وَ ابْدَأْ بِعَلْفِهَا قَبْلَ نَفْسِكَ وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتُمُ النُّزُولَ فَعَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بِقَاعِ الْأَرَضِينَ بِأَحْسَنِهَا لَوْناً وَ أَلْيَنِهَا تُرْبَةً وَ أَكْثَرِهَا عُشْباً وَ إِذَا نَزَلْتَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجْلِسَ وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ قَضَاءَ حَاجَةٍ فَأَبْعِدِ الْمَذْهَبَ فِي الْأَرْضِ
And when you come close to the destination, descend from your animal and begin by feeding it before (you feed) yourself. And when you intend to encamp, it is upon you to remain in a land, which is good in colour, soft in soil, and abundance of grass. And if you encamp, so pray two Cycles Salat before you sit down. And if you intend to fulfil your need (toilet), go far away in the land.
وَ إِذَا ارْتَحَلْتَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ وَدِّعِ الْأَرْضَ الَّتِي حَلَلْتَ بِهَا وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَيْهَا وَ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ بُقْعَةٍ أَهْلًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ
And when you embark (upon your journey) pray two Cycles Salat, and say farewell to the land on which you spent time, and send greetings of peace upon it and upon its people, because for every patch of land has its inhabitants from the Angels.
وَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تَأْكُلَ طَعَاماً حَتَّى تَبْدَأَ فَتَصَدَّقَ مِنْهُ فَافْعَلْ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ مَا دُمْتَ رَاكِباً وَ عَلَيْكَ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ مَا دامت [دُمْتَ] عَامِلًا عَمَلًا وَ عَلَيْكَ بِالدُّعَاءِ مَا دُمْتَ خَالِياً
If you are able to, do not eat food until you begin by giving charity from it, so do it. And it is upon you to recite the Book of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic as long as you are riding. And it is upon you for the Glorification for as long as you are working. And it is upon you to supplicate for as long as you are alone.
وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ السَّيْرَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِالتَّعْرِيسِ وَ الدُّلْجَةِ مِنْ لَدُنْ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ رَفْعَ الصَّوْتِ فِي مَسِيرِكَ.
And beware of travelling in the first part of the night. And it is upon you for the travelling in the end part of the night, from the middle of the night to its end. And beware of raising your voice during your travel!’’[316]

A man from the group said, ‘Upon me is with slaughtering it!’ And another one said, ‘Upon me is with stripping it!’ And another said, ‘Upon me is to cut it!’ And another said, ‘Upon me is to cook it!’
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَلْقُطَ لَكُمُ الْحَطَبَ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Upon me-saww is to fetch the firewood for you all!’
فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا تُتْعِبَنَّ بِآبَائِنَا وَ أُمَّهَاتِنَا أَنْتَ نَحْنُ نَكْفِيكَ
They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! By our fathers and our mothers! Do not take trouble, we shall suffice you-saww!’
قَالَ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّكُمْ تَكْفُونِي وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَكْرَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا كَانَ مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنْ يَنْفَرِدَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ-
He-saww said: ‘I-saww do recognise that you will be sufficing me-asws, but Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Dislikes from His-azwj servant, when he were to be with his companion, that he should (withdraw to) be alone from between them!’
فَقَامَ ص يَلْقُطُ الْحَطَبَ لَهُمْ
He-saww stood up to pick out the firewood for them’.
وَ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ يَا بُنَيَّ سَافِرْ بِسَيْفِكَ وَ خُفِّكَ وَ عِمَامَتِكَ وَ خِبَائِكَ وَ سِقَائِكَ وَ خُيُوطِكَ وَ مِخْرَزِكَ وَ تَزَوَّدْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْأَدْوِيَةِ مَا تَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ أَنْتَ وَ مَنْ مَعَكَ وَ كُنْ لِأَصْحَابِكَ مُوَافِقاً إِلَّا فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
And Luqman-as said to his-as son: ‘O my-as son! Travel with your sword, and your shoes, and your turban, and your tent, and your water container, and your needle and your thread, and your shoe-repair kit, and take medicines with you which can benefit you and the one with you, and select your companion, (who is) compatible and friendly, except in the disobedience of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic!’
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ بَعْضِهِمْ وَ قَوْسِكَ
And in a report by one of them, ‘And your bow’.
تَذَاكَرَ النَّاسُ عِنْدَ الصَّادِقِ ع أَمْرَ الْفُتُوَّةِ فَقَالَ تَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ الْفُتُوَّةَ بِالْفِسْقِ وَ الْفُجُورِ إِنَّمَا الْفُتُوَّةُ وَ الْمُرُوَّةَ طَعَامٌ مَوْضُوعٌ وَ نَائِلٌ مَبْذُولٌ وَ نَشْرٌ مَعْرُوفٌ وَ أَذًى مَكْفُوفٌ فَأَمَّا تِلْكَ فَشَطَارَةٌ وَ فِسْقٌ
‘The people mentioned the matter of the adolescents in the presence of Al-Sadiq-asws. He-asws said ‘You are thinking that the adolescent is with the mischief and the immorality? But rather, the adolescence and the manliness is placing a meal, and an achiever spending, and spreading acts of kindness, and harm restrained. And for that (which you are discussing), it is cunningness and mischief’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا الْمُرُوَّةُ
Then he-asws said: ‘What is the manliness?’
فَقَالَ النَّاسُ مَا نَعْلَمُ
The people said, ‘We don’t know!’
قَالَ الْمُرُوَّةُ وَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَضَعَ الرَّجُلُ خِوَانَهُ بِفِنَاءِ دَارِهِ وَ الْمُرُوَّةُ مُرُوَّتَانِ مُرُوَّةٌ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ مُرُوَّةٌ فِي الْحَضَرِ
He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! The manliness is the man placing his meal in the courtyard of his house, and the manliness (chivalry) is of two types – chivalry during the journey and chivalry during the staying.
فَأَمَّا الَّتِي فِي الْحَضَرِ فَتِلَاوَةُ الْقُرْآنِ وَ لُزُومُ الْمَسَاجِدِ وَ الْمَشْيُ مَعَ الْإِخْوَانِ فِي الْحَوَائِجِ وَ النِّعْمَةُ تُرَى عَلَى الْخَادِمِ فَإِنَّهَا تَسُرُّ الصَّدِيقَ وَ تَكْبِتُ الْعَدُوَّ
As for what which is during the stay, it is reciting the Quran, and adhering with the Masjid, and with walking with the brother regarding the needs, and the bounty you see upon the servant, for it cheers the truthful and saddens the enemy.
وَ أَمَّا الَّتِي فِي السَّفَرِ فَكَثْرَةُ الزَّادِ وَ طِيبُهُ وَ بَذْلُهُ لِمَنْ كَانَ مَعَكَ- وَ كِتْمَانُكَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ أَمْرَهُمْ بَعْدَ مُفَارَقَتِكَ إِيَّاهُمْ وَ كَثْرَةُ الْمِزَاحِ فِي غَيْرِ مَا يُسْخِطُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ثُمَ
As for that which is during the journey, having a lot of provisions, and its good, and spending it for the one who was with you, and your concealing upon the group their affairs after your separating from them, and a lot of jokes in other than what Annoys Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.
قَالَ ع وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ جَدِّي مُحَمَّداً ص بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَيَرْزُقُ الْعَبْدَ عَلَى قَدْرِ الْمُرُوَّةِ فَإِنَّ الْمَعُونَةَ تَنْزِلُ عَلَى قَدْرِ الْمَئُونَةِ وَ إِنَّ الصَّبْرَ يَنْزِلُ عَلَى قَدْرِ شِدَّةِ الْبَلَاءِ.
He-asws said: ‘By the One-azwj Who Sent my-asws grandfather-saww Muhammad-saww with the truth! Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Tends to Sustain the servant based upon a measurement of the manliness, for the Assistance descends based upon a measurement of the supply, and the patience descends based upon a measurement of intensity of the affliction’’.[327]
مِنْ كِتَابِ الْمَحَاسِنِ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ص رَجُلٌ فَقِيلَ لَهُ خَيْرٌ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَرَجَ مَعَنَا حَاجّاً فَإِذَا نَزَلْنَا لَمْ يَزَلْ يُهَلِّلَ اللَّهَ حَتَّى نَرْتَحِلَ فَإِذَا ارْتَحَلْنَا لَمْ يَزَلْ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ حَتَّى نَنْزِلَ
From the book ‘Al Mahasin’ –
‘A man was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet-saww. It was said for him, ‘Good (man)!’ They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! He had come out with us for a need. When we descended, he did not cease to extol the Holiness of Allah-azwj until we departed. When we departed, he did not cease to mention Allah-azwj until we descended’.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَمَنْ كَانَ يَكْفِيهِ عَلَفَ دَابَّتِهِ وَ يَصْنَعُ طَعَامَهُ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘So who was sufficing him fodder of his animal and make his meal?’
قَالُوا كُلُّنَا
They said, ‘All of us!’
قَالَ كُلُّكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ.
He-saww said: ‘All of you are better than him!’’[328]
وَ قَالَ ص مَنْ أَعَانَ مُؤْمِناً مُسَافِراً نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ثَلَاثاً وَ سَبْعِينَ كُرْبَةً وَ أَجَارَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ الْهَمِّ وَ نَفَّسَ عَنْهُ كَرْبَهُ الْعَظِيمَ يَوْمَ يَغَصُّ النَّاسُ بِأَنْفَاسِهِمْ.
And he-saww said: ‘One who assists a Momin traveller, Allah-azwj will banish seventy-three distresses from him, and Shelter him in the world from the sadness, and the worries, and banish from him the mighty distress on a Day the people will be gasping for their breaths’’.[329]
عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع- تَكُونُ مَعِيَ الدَّرَاهِمُ فِيهَا تَمَاثِيلُ وَ أَنَا مُحْرِمٌ فَأَجْعَلُهَا فِي هِمْيَانِي وَ أَشُدُّهُ فِي وَسَطِي
From Yaqoub Bin Salim who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘The Dirhams (coins) happen to be with me wherein are images, and I am in Ihraam, so I make these to be in my pouch and tie it in my waist’.
قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ هِيَ نَفَقَتُكَ وَ عَلَيْهَا اعْتِمَادُكَ بَعْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
He-asws said: ‘There is no problem. These are your expenditure monies and upon it is your reliance after Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[330]
عَنْهُ ع قَالَ: إِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فَاتَّخِذُوا سُفْرَةً وَ تَنَوَّقُوا فِيهَا.
From him-asws having said: ‘When you travel, then take a meal and be choosy in it’’.[331]
عَنْ نَصْرٍ الْخَادِمِ قَالَ: نَظَرَ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع إِلَى سُفْرَةٍ عَلَيْهَا حَلَقُ صُفْرٍ فَقَالَ انْزِعُوا هَذِهِ وَ اجْعَلُوا مَكَانَهَا حَدِيداً فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُقْذِرُ شَيْئاً مِمَّا فِيهَا مِنَ الْهَوَامِّ.
From Nasr Al Khadim, who said,
‘The righteous servant Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws looked at a table cloth, upon it was a yellow ring. He-asws said: ‘Remove this and make iron to be in its place, for nothing from the insects will dirty anything from what is in it’’.[332]
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: زَادُ الْمُسَافِرِ الْحُدَاءُ وَ الشِّعْرُ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ لَيْسَ فِيهِ خَنًا.
From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘Provision of the traveller are the footwear and the good, whatever was from it not having any dryness in it’’.[333]
32- نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَرْبَعَةٌ لَا عُذْرَ لَهُمْ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ مُحَارَفٌ [فِي] بِلَادِهِ لَا عُذْرَ لَهُ حَتَّى يُهَاجِرَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَلْتَمِسُ مَا يَقْضِي دَيْنَهُ
(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy – by his chain,
‘From Musa Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Four, there is no excuse for them – a man having debts upon him, wandering in his city. There is no excuse for him until he emigrate in the earth seeking what he can pay off his debts with.
وَ رَجُلٌ أَصَابَ عَلَى بَطْنِ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا لَا عُذْرَ لَهُ حَتَّى يُطَلِّقَ لِئَلَّا يَشْرِكَهُ فِي الْوَلَدِ غَيْرُهُ وَ رَجُلٌ لَهُ مَمْلُوكُ سَوْءٍ فَهُوَ يُعَذِّبُهُ لَا عُذْرَ لَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَبِيعَ وَ إِمَّا أَنْ يُعْتِقَ وَ رَجُلَانِ اصْطَحَبَا فِي السَّفَرِ هُمَا يَتَلَاعَنَانِ لَا عُذْرَ لَهُمَا حَتَّى يَفْتَرِقَا.
And a man who comes across a man upon the belly of his wife, there is no excuse for him until he divorces her, lest someone else participates in the child; and a man having an evil slave for him, so he punishes him. There is no excuse for him except to sell (him), or else he liberates (him); and two man accompanying in the journey cursing each other. There is no excuse for them until they separate’’.[334]

‘I entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws. He-asws said, ‘Who accompanied you?’
قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ إِخْوَانِي
I said, ‘A man from my brethren’.
قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَ
He-asws said: ‘So what did he do?’
قُلْتُ مُنْذُ دَخَلْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ لَمْ أَعْرِفْ مَكَانَهُ
I said, ‘Since I entered Al Medina, I do not know his place!’
فَقَالَ لِي أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ مَنْ صَحِبَ مُؤْمِناً أَرْبَعِينَ خُطْوَةً سَأَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
He-asws said to me: ‘Don’t you know that the one who accompanies a Momin for forty steps, Allah-azwj will Question about him on the Day of Qiyamah?’’[335]
وَ قَالَ الْمُفِيدُ وَجَدْتُ فِي بَعْضِ الْأُصُولِ حَدِيثاً لَمْ يَحْضُرْنِي الْآنَ إِسْنَادُهُ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ صَحِبَ أَخَاهُ الْمُؤْمِنَ فِي طَرِيقٍ فَتَقَدَّمَهُ فِيهِ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَغِيبُ عَنْهُ بَصَرُهُ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَهُ.
And Al Mufeed said, ‘I found in one of the original Hadeeth, it’s attribution is not present with me now,

34- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص فِي سَفَرٍ مَنْ كَانَ يُسِيءُ الْجِوَارَ فَلَا يُصَاحِبْنَا
(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy –
‘The Prophet-saww said during a journey: ‘O who was of evil neighbourliness, he should not accompany us!’
وَ قَالَ ص احْتَمِلِ الْأَذَى عَمَّنْ هُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْكَ وَ أَصْغَرُ مِنْكَ وَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ وَ شَرٌّ مِنْكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ كَذَلِكَ تَلْقَى اللَّهَ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ يُبَاهِي بِكَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ
And he-saww said: ‘Endure the harm from the one who is older than you, and younger than you, and better than you, and eviler than you, for if you were to be like that, you will be meeting Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty Boasting about you to the Angels!’
وَ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ تَزَوَّدْ مَعَكَ الْأَدْوِيَةَ فَتَنْتَفِعُ بِهَا أَنْتَ وَ مَنْ مَعَكَ وَ كُنْ لِأَصْحَابِكَ مُوَافِقاً إِلَّا فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ.
And Luqman-as said to his-as son: ‘Provide the medication with you. It will be benefitted with by you and the one with you, and be compatible to your companion except in disobedience to Allah-azwj’’.[337]

He (the author) said, ‘When Ali-asws headed to Siffeen, he ended to Sabata, then to the city of Bahuraseyr, and there was a man from his–asws companions called Jareer Bin Sahm looking at the impact of Chosroe, and trailing Al Aswad Bin Ya’fur, ‘The winds flowed upon the place of their houses, it was as if they were upon an appointment’.

He–asws said: ‘Indeed! I–asws said, How many of the gardens and fountains they left (behind), [44:25] And plantations and noble places, [44:26] And bounties they used to enjoy in? [44:27] Like that, and We Made these to be inherited by another people [44:28] So the sky and the earth did not weep upon them, nor were they Respited [44:29].
إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ كَانُوا وَارِثِينَ فَأَصْبَحُوا مَوْرُوثِينَ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ لَمْ يَشْكُرُوا النِّعْمَةَ فَسُلِبُوا دُنْيَاهُمْ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ كُفْرَ النِّعَمِ لَا تَحِلَّ بِكُمُ النِّقَمُ.
They were inheritors and they became hereditarians. They did not thank for the Bounties, so their world was confiscated due to the disobedience. Beware of the Kufr of the Bounties, the curse would not be released with you’’.[338]
