Hadith 710

(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! 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! ’
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! O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj the goodness of this spot, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from it’s evil! O Allah-azwj! Make the beginning of our entrance to be righteous, and its middle to be successful, and its end to be profitable! ’
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! 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. 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]
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]
