Chapter on Seeking Dwelling Places and Locations Where it is Disliked to Stay

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ التَّعْرِيسَ‌[3] عَلَى ظَهْرِ الطَّرِيقِ وَ بُطُونِ الْأَوْدِيَةِ فَإِنَّهَا مَدَارِجُ السِّبَاعِ وَ مَأْوَى الْحَيَّاتِ.

Hadith.2499 - Al-Sakuni narrated with his chain of transmission that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) said: "Beware of resting along the middle of roads and in the valleys, for they are pathways for wild beasts and shelters for snakes."

مَنْ نَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا يَتَخَوَّفُ فِيهِ السَّبُعَ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ سَبُعٍ إِلَّا أَمِنَ[1] مِنْ شَرِّ ذَلِكَ السَّبُعِ حَتَّى يَرْحَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَنْزِلِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى
