It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid from Sa’D ibn Zayd who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan (a.s.) has said, ‘When you performed your Maghrib prayer before stretching your leg or speaking to anyone say one hundred times, “(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,” and one hundred times in the morning, Allah will repel one hundred kinds of misfortune, the least of which is leprosy, Satan and rulers (unjust ones).”’

30. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Hammad from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ibrahim al-Ja’fari who has said the following: “I heard abu al-Hassan (a.s.) saying, ‘In the evening when you see the sun is disappearing say, ‘(I begin) in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Who has no children, never had a partner in the kingdom, all praise belongs to Allah Who describes things and Himself is beyond description, knows and is not known. He knows the secret glance of eyes and what hearts hide. I seek protection with Allah’s honorable face, with Allah’s great name against the evil of what He has spread and settled, the evil under the ground, the evil of what is manifest or hidden, the evil of things in the night and during the day, the evil of abu Murrah (Satan) and what he has given birth to, the evil of false emotional attraction, the evil of what I mentioned and what I have not mentioned. All praise belongs to Allah, Cherisher of the worlds.’ The Imam said, ‘It is protection against beasts, Satan condemned to be stoned and his offspring.’ Amir al- Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) would say in the morning, ‘Glory belongs to Allah, the King, the Most Holy, three times, O Lord, I seek protection against my loss of Your bounties, change in good health that You have given. Your sudden displeasure, the approaching of misfortune, and the evil of what came to pass in the book. O Lord, I plead before You through the majesty of Your kingdom, the intensity of Your power, the greatness of Your domain and Your power over Your creatures.’”

31. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Muhammad ibn Ali from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu Hashim from abu Khadijah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Prayer before sunrise and sunset is an established Sunnah (tradition). At sunrise and sunset say, ‘No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah, alone, Who has no partner. To Him belongs the Kingdom and all praise. He gives life, causes death, causes death and gives life and He does not die. In His hand is all good, He has power over all things,’ ten times and then say, ‘I seek protection with Allah, the Hearing, the Omniscient, against the whispers of Satan. I seek protection with You, my Lord against their approaching me. Allah is All-Hearing and Omniscient,’ ten times before sunrise and sunset. If you forget, make it up as you make up the formal prayer when you forget.’”
