DUA FOR SAFETY FROM ALL BEASTS, EVILS OF SATAN, THIEVES & DEMONS


Seventeenth: Al-Kulayni and al-Barqi have reported through valid chains of authority that Imam al-Sadiq and Imam al-Kazim (a.s.) said: When evening falls and you look at the sun setting and falling, you may say the following words, because they secure you from all beasts, from the evils of Satan the accursed and his offspring, from whatever bites and stings, and from thieves and demons:

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ اَلْحَمْدُلِلّهِ الَّذى لَمْ يَتّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَريكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ وَالْحَمْدُلِلَّهِ الَّذى يَصِفُ وَلا يُوصَفُ وَ يَعْلَمُ وَلايُعْلَمُ يَعْلَمُ خآئِنَةَ الاَْعْيُنِ وَ ما تُخْفِى الصُّدُورُ وَ اَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِاللّٰهِ الْكَريمِ وَ بِاسْمِاللّٰهِ الْعَظيمِ مِنْ شَرِّ ما ذَرَءَ وَ بَرَءَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما تَحْتَ الثَّرى وَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما ظَهَرَ وَ ما بَطَنَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما كانَ فِى اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهارِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ اَبى قِتْرَةَ وَ ما وَلَدَ وَ مِن شَرِّ الرَّسيسِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما وَصَفْتُ وَ ما لَمْ اَصِفْ وَالْحَمْدُلِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمينَ

Eighteenth: Al-Kulayni has reported through a valid chain of authority that Imam al-Baqir (a.s.) said: Whoever prays Almighty Allah with this supplicatory prayer in the morning will not be afflicted by any harm on that day, and whoever says it in the evening will not be afflicted by any harm at that night, Allah willing:

اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَصْبَحْتُ فى ذِمَّتِكَ وَ جِوارِكَ اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْتَوْدِعُكَ دينى وَ نَفْسى وَ دُنْياىَ وَ آخِرَتى وَ اَهْلى وَ مالى وَ اَعُوذُبِكَ يا عَظيمُ مِنْ شَرِّ خَلْقِكَ جَميعاً وَ اَعُوذُبِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما يُبْلِسُ بِهِ اِبْليسُ وَ جُنُودُهُ

Nineteenth: Al-Kulayni has reported through a semi-authentic chain of authority that a man came to Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) and asked him to teach him a supplicatory prayer he would say every morning and evening. The Imam (a.s.) therefore instructed him to say the following:

اَلْحَمْدُلِلَّهِ الَّذى يَفْعَلُ ما يَشآءُ وَلايَفْعَلُ ما يَشآءُ غَيْرُهُ اَلْحَمْدُلِلَّهِ كَما يُحِبُّ اللّهُ اَنْ يُحْمَدَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَما هُوَ اَهْلُهُ اَللّهُمَّ اَدْخِلْنى فى كُلِّ خَيْرٍ اَدْخَلْتَ فيهِ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَخْرِجْنى مِنْ كُلِّ سُوَّءٍ اَخْرَجْتَ مِنْهُ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Twentieth: In the book of al-Balad al-Amin, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) is reported to have said: Whoever repeats this saying (composed of Quranic verses) seven times in the morning, Almighty Allah will save him that whole day:

فَاللّهُ خَيْرٌ حافِظاً وَ هُوَ اَرْحَمُ الرّاحِمينَ اِنَّ وَلِيِّىَ اللّٰهُ الَّذى نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ وَ هُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصّالِحينَ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ اللّٰهُ لا اِلهَ اِلاّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظيمِ
