Al-Kafi 3395

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘Whenever you fear a matter, so say, ‘O Allah^azwj! You^azwj are such that no one suffices from You^azwj and You^azwj Suffice from every one from Your^azwj creatures, therefore Suffice me with such and such’. And in another Hadeeth, he^asws said: ‘You should be sayin, ‘O Sufficient from every thing and nothing suffices from You^azwj, in the skies and the earth! Suffice me for what worries me from the matters of the world and the Hereafter, and Send <span class="iTxt">Salawāt</span> upon Muhammad^saww and the Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww’’. And Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘The one who goes over to a ruling authority to be awarded, so let him say, ‘By Allah^azwj I commence and by Allah^azwj I shall succeed, and by Muhammad^saww I divert to Him^azwj. O Allah^azwj! Overcome for me his difficult attitude and Ease for me his ruthlessness, for You^azwj Delete whatever You^azwj so Desire to and Affirm, and with You^azwj is the Mother of the Book’. And you should be saying as well, ‘Allah^azwj Suffices for me. There is no God except Him^azwj. Upon Him^azwj do I rely, and He^azwj is the Lord^azwj of the Magnificent Throne, and I refrain by the Might of Allah^azwj and His^azwj Strength, from their (tyrants) might and their strength. And I refrain by the Lord^azwj of <span class="iTxt">Al Falaq</span> (a chasm in Hell), from the evil of what He^azwj Created, and there is neither Might nor Strength except with Allah^azwj’’.
