قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ الْعَقَارِبَ فَقَالَ انْظُرْ إِلَى بَنَاتِ نَعْشٍ الْكَوَاكِبِ الثَّلَاثَةِ الْوُسْطَى مِنْهَا بِجَنْبِهِ كَوْكَبٌ صَغِيرٌ قَرِيبٌ مِنْهُ تُسَمِّيهِ الْعَرَبُ السُّهَا وَ نَحْنُ نُسَمِّيهِ أَسْلَمَ أَحِدَّ النَّظَرَ إِلَيْهِ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ وَ قُلْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ أَسْلَمَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ وَ سَلِّمْنَا قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ فَمَا تَرَكْتُهُ مُنْذُ دَهْرِي إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَضَرَبَتْنِي الْعَقْرَبُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! I fear the scorpions’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Look at the daughters of the little bear (Ursa Minor), the three stars, (at) the middle one from it, by the side of it is a small star near to it, named by the Arabs as Al-Suha, and we call it as Aslam, with a solitary gaze at it every night, and say three times, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Lord<sup>azwj</sup> of Aslam! Send <span class="iTxt">Salawāt</span> upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>, and Hasten their<sup>asws</sup> relief and Keep us safe’. Is’haq said, ‘So I did not neglect it since my time (of having learnt that) except for once, so the scorpion stung me’.
