14. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn Salim from Ahmad ibn al- Nadr from ‘Amr ibn Shimr from Yazid ibn Murrah from Bukayr who has said the following: “I heard Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) saying, ‘The Messenger of Allah once said to me, “O Ali I should instruct you with the words that you should say in a troublesome condition or a misfortune: ‘(I begin) in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. There are no means and no power without Allah, the Most High, the Most Great,’ Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will divert away from you through these words, many kinds of misfortune as He wills.’”
