قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا لَقِيتَ السَّبُعَ فَاقْرَأْ فِي وَجْهِهِ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ قُلْ لَهُ عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ بِعَزِيمَةِ اللَّهِ وَ عَزِيمَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ عَزِيمَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عَزِيمَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الطَّاهِرِينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا السَّبُعُ قَدِ اعْتَرَضَ فَعَزَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِلَّا تَنَحَّيْتَ عَنْ طَرِيقِنَا وَ لَمْ تُؤْذِنَا قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَدْ طَأْطَأَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَ أَدْخَلَ ذَنَبَهُ بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ انْصَرَفَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ali Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Yahya Al Kahily who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When you come across a predatory wild animal, so recite Ayat Al-Kursy <a href="/#/books/quran:2#h255"><a href="/books/quran:2#h255">[2:255]</a></a> in its face, and say to it: ‘I am determined against you by the Determination of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and determination of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>, and determination of Suleyman Bin Dawood<sup>as</sup>, and determination of Amir Al-Momineen Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Abu Talib<sup>asws</sup> and the Purified Imams<sup>asws</sup> from after him<sup>asws</sup>’, so it would be exchanged from him, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Willing. So a wild animal presented itself, so I was determined against it and said it to it so it step aside from our way and did not harm us. So I looked at it and it had bowed its head and entered its tail between its legs and left’.
