صَحِبْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ هُوَ مُتَوَجِّهٌ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قَالَ- اللَّهُمَّ خَلِّ سَبِيلَنَا وَ أَحْسِنْ تَسْيِيرَنَا وَ أَحْسِنْ عَافِيَتَنَا وَ كُلَّمَا صَعِدَ أَكَمَةً قَالَ- اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الشَّرَفُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ[2].
‘O Allah, open the way for us. Make our journey and our health full of goodness.’ Whenever he climbed a higher place, he would say, ‘You possess highness and You are over all goodness.’”
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي سَفَرِهِ إِذَا هَبَطَ سَبَّحَ وَ إِذَا صَعِدَ كَبَّرَ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, during his journey, when climbing down would say, ‘Allah is free of all defects’ and when climbing up would say, ‘Allah is great beyond description.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘On every bridge there is a Satan. When you approach him, say, ‘(I seek help) by the name of Allah.’ He moves away from you.’”
قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ لِنَفْسِيَ الْيَقِينَ وَ الْعَفْوَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي وَ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي وَ أَنْتَ عَضُدِي وَ أَنْتَ نَاصِرِي بِكَ أَحُلُّ وَ بِكَ أَسِيرُ[1] قَالَ وَ مَنْ يَخْرُجْ فِي سَفَرٍ وَحْدَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ ما شاءَ اللَّهُ لا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ آنِسْ وَحْشَتِي وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى وَحْدَتِي وَ أَدِّ غَيْبَتِي[2].
4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Isa ibn ‘Abdullah al-Qummiy from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Say: ‘O Allah, I appeal before You to grant my soul certainty, forgiveness and good health in this life and in the next life.
