قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ أَ مَا لَكَ فِي السُّوقِ مَكَانٌ تَقْعُدُ فِيهِ تُعَامِلُ النَّاسَ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَغْدُو وَ يَرُوحُ إِلَى مَجْلِسِهِ وَ سُوقِهِ فَيَقُولُ حِينَ يَضَعُ رِجْلَهُ فِي السُّوقِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَ خَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ شَرِّ أَهْلِهَا إِلَّا وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ- مَنْ يَحْفَظُهُ وَ يَحْفَظُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ قَدْ أَجَرْتُكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ شَرِّ أَهْلِهَا يَوْمَكَ هَذَا فَإِذَا جَلَسَ مَكَانَهُ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ فَيَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ ص اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ حَلَالًا طَيِّباً وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَفْقَةٍ خَاسِرَةٍ وَ يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ الْمُوَكَّلُ أَبْشِرْ فَمَا فِي سُوقِكَ الْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ أَوْفَرُ نَصِيباً مِنْكَ وَ سَيَأْتِيكَ مَا قَسَمَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مُوَفَّراً حَلَالًا طَيِّباً مُبَارَكاً فِيهِ.

Hadith.3754 - Abdullah ibn Hammad Al-Ansari narrated from Sadeer, who said: Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "O Abu Al-Fadl, do you not have a place in the market where you sit and deal with people?" I said: "Yes." Imam (as) said: "Know that any man who goes to his seat in the market, and when he places his foot in the market says: 'O Allah (swt), I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of its people, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of its people', Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted, appoints an angel to protect him and preserve him until he returns to his home. The angel then says to him, 'I have safeguarded you from its evil and the evil of its people for this day.' And when he sits in his place, he should say: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah (swt), alone, without any partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah (swt), I ask You for lawful, pure sustenance from Your bounty, and I seek refuge in You from wronging others or being wronged, and I seek refuge in You from a bad transaction and a false oath.' When he says this, the appointed angel says, 'Rejoice! For there is no one in the market today with a greater share than you. And what Allah (swt) has decreed for you will come to you fully, lawfully, purely, and with blessings.'"
