Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far, from Al Sayyari, from Muhammad Bin Bakr, from Abu Al Jaroud, from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata, (It has been narrated) from Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘By the One<sup>azwj</sup> Who Sent Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> with the Truth, and Honoured the People<sup>asws</sup> of his<sup>saww</sup> Household, there is nothing you would be seeking from a protective charm (amulet), from burning, or drowning, or theft, or fleeing of an animal from its owner, or straying, or an absconding one (slave), except that it is in the Quran. Therefore, the one who wants that, so let him ask me<sup>asws</sup> about it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So a man stood up to him<sup>asws</sup> and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! Inform me about what can secure from the burning, and the drowning?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Recite these Verses - <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:7#h196"><a href="/books/quran:7#h196">[7:196]</a></a> Surely, my guardian is Allah, Who Revealed the Book, and He Befriends the righteous</span>; <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:39#h67"><a href="/books/quran:39#h67">[39:67]</a></a> And they did not appreciate Allah with the appreciation that is due to Him </span><span class="iTxt"> - </span>up to His<sup>azwj</sup> Words <span class="ibTxt">Glory be to Him, and Exalted is He, above what they are associating</span>. So the one who recites these, so he would be safe from the burning and the drowning. He (the narrator) said, ‘So the man recited these, and fire erupted in the houses of his neighbourhood, and his house was in the middle of it, but nothing affected him’. Then another man stood up to him<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>! My animal has become difficult upon me and I am apprehensive from it’. So he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘Recite in its right ear <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:3#h83"><a href="/books/quran:3#h83">[3:83]</a></a> and to Him submits whoever is in the skies and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him shall they be returning</span>’. So he recited it, and his animal became submissive to him. And another man stood up to him<sup>asws</sup> and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! My land is a land (full of) wild animals, and the animals tend to overwhelm my house and they do not go away until they seize their prey’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Recite <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:9#h128"><a href="/books/quran:9#h128">[9:128]</a></a> Certainly a Rasool has come to you from among yourselves; It is grievous to him that you should be overburdened, being full of concern for you; to the believers (he is) kind, merciful <a href="/#/books/quran:9#h129"><a href="/books/quran:9#h129">[9:129]</a></a> But if they turn back, say: Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no god but He; on Him do I rely, and He is the Lord of the Magnificent Throne</span>’. So the man recited them both, and the predatory wild animals kept away from him’. Then another man stood up to him<sup>asws</sup> and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! In my belly there is yellow water, so is there a cure from it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, without a Dirham nor a Dinar. But write upon your belly Ayat Al-Kursy <a href="/#/books/quran:2#h255"><a href="/books/quran:2#h255">[2:255]</a></a>, and wash it, and drink it, and make it to be a hoard inside your belly, and you would be cured by the Permission of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic’. So the man did so and he was cured by the Permission of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’. Then another one stood up to him<sup>asws</sup> and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! Inform me about the strayed (animal)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Recite Ya Seen (Chapter 36) during the two <span class="iTxt">Rukous</span> (in the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>), and say, ‘O Guide of the straying one! Return my straying (animal)’. So he did so and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Returned his straying (animal) back to him. Then another one stood up to him<sup>asws</sup> and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! Inform me about the absconding one (slave)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Recite <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:24#h40"><a href="/books/quran:24#h40">[24:40]</a></a> Or like utter darkness in the sea</span> – up to His<sup>azwj</sup> Words<span class="ibTxt"> and to whomsoever Allah does not give Light, he has no Light</span>. So the man said these, and he absconding (slave) returned to him’. Then another stood up to him<sup>asws</sup> and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! Inform me about the theft, for I have not ceased to be stolen from, something after something, at nights’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Recite whenever you go to your bed <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:17#h110"><a href="/books/quran:17#h110">[17:110]</a></a> Say: Call upon Allah or call upon the Beneficent; whichever (Name) you call upon</span> – up to His<sup>azwj</sup> Words<span class="ibTxt"> <a href="/#/books/quran:17#h111"><a href="/books/quran:17#h111">[17:111]</a></a> and exclaim His Greateness with Exclamations</span>’. Then Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who spends the night in a land of wilderness, so he should recite these Verses <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:7#h54"><a href="/books/quran:7#h54">[7:54]</a></a> Surely, your Lord is Allah, Who Created the skies and the earth in six days, then Established upon the Throne</span><span class="iTxt"> – </span>up to His<sup>azwj</sup> Words<span class="ibTxt"> Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the Worlds</span>, the Angels would fortify him and the Satans<sup>la</sup> would distance themselves from him’. Then (the narrator) said, ‘The man went, and he was in a ruined town, So he spent the night in it and did not recite these Verses. So the Satan<sup>la</sup> overcame him and seized him by his face. So his<sup>la</sup> companion said to him<sup>la</sup>, ‘Look at this’, and the man woke up. So he recited the Verse. So the Satan<sup>la</sup> said to his<sup>la</sup> companion, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Rub your nose (Humiliate you). Protect him now, until the morning’. So when it was morning, he returned to Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> and informed him<sup>asws</sup>, and said, to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I saw the healing and the truthfulness in your<sup>asws</sup> speech’. And he went after the emergence of the sun, and there were traces of the hair of the Satan<sup>la</sup>, gathered in the ground’.
