1. Muhammad ibn Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Shu’ayb al-‘Aqarqufiy from abu Basir from abu ’Abd Allah, who has said the following: “If something dismayed Imam Ali (a.s.), he would feel restless for Salah (prayer). The Imam then read this, ’Seek help from exercising patience and performing Salah (prayer).’”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.

2. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Aban from Hariz who has said the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said to assign a place in your home as Masjid. If something frightens you, dress in two pieces of your roughest clothes and perform Salah (prayer) with them. Thereafter rise on your knees and call for help, scream before Allah, ask Him for paradise, beg Him for protection against whatever has frightened you. Beware of having Allah to hear from you rebellious words even though You may feel very proud of yourself or your tribe.”
