سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‌ سِيرُوا الْبَرْدَيْنِ‌[3] قُلْتُ إِنَّا نَتَخَوَّفُ مِنَ الْهَوَامِّ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَصَابَكُمْ شَيْ‌ءٌ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مَعَ أَنَّكُمْ مَضْمُونُونَ‌[4].

‘Travel when it is cool (time of the day)’. I said, ‘We are afraid of the pests’. So he (asws) said: ‘Even if something affects you, it is better for you in view to the fact that you will be safe (from sunstroke), as you are the protected ones (from pets)’.
