قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا رَكِبَ الرَّجُلُ الدَّابَّةَ فَسَمَّى رَدِفَهُ مَلَكٌ يَحْفَظُهُ حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ وَ إِذَا رَكِبَ وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ رَدِفَهُ شَيْطَانٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ تَغَنَّ فَإِنْ قَالَ لَهُ لَا أُحْسِنُ قَالَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَتَمَنَّى حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ وَ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا رَكِبَ الدَّابَّةَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا الْآيَةَ وَ سُبْحانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنا هذا وَ ما كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ حُفِظَتْ لَهُ نَفْسُهُ وَ دَابَّتُهُ حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Dahqan, from Dorost, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘When the man rides the animal, so he Names (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>) and Angel rides behind him, protecting him until he descends; and when he rides and does not Name (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>), a Satan<sup>la</sup> rides behind him, so he<sup>la</sup> is saying to him, ‘Sing!’ So if he says to him<sup>la</sup>, ‘I am not good at it’, he<sup>la</sup> says to him, ‘Wish for it’. So he does not cease wishing until he descends’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who says whenever he rides the animal, ‘In the Name of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, there is no Might or Strength except with Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:7#h43"><a href="/books/quran:7#h43">[7:43]</a></a> All Praise is due to Allah Who Guided us to this, and we would not have found the Way had it not been that Allah had Guided us</span>, <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:43#h13"><a href="/books/quran:43#h13">[43:13]</a></a> Glory be to Him Who Made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it</span>’, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Protect for him his self, and his animal until he descends’.
