Fifteenth: Abu-Hamzah al-Thumali has reported that he, once, stopped at the door of Imam al-Baqir's house, waiting for permission to enter. The Imam ('a) then came out while he was uttering something. "Have you heard these words of mine?" the Imam ('a) asked. "Yes, I have. May Allah accept me as ransom for You!" answered Abu-Hamzah. The Imam ('a) said, "I have been uttering some words that none says them but that Allah the All-exalted will save him from whatever distresses him, including the affairs of this world and the Next World." "May Allah accept me as ransom for you." said Abu-Hamzah, "Will you please teach me these words?" "Yes, I will," responded the Imam ('a), "Whoever says these words before leaving his house, all his matters that concern him will be made easy:"
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمْنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
حَسْبِىَ اللهُ
Sufficient to me is Allah.
تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّهِ
I put my trust in Allah.
اَللّهُمَّ إِنَّى اَساَلُكَ خَيْرَ أُمُوْرِىْ كُلَّهَا
O Allah, I beseech You for success in all of my affairs
وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ خِزْى الدُّنْيَا وَ عَذَابِ الأَخِرَةِ.
and I pray Your protection against disgrace in this world and chastisement in the Hereafter.
