قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا وَلِيدُ أَيْنَ حَانُوتُكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُلْتُ عَلَى بَابِهِ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ حَانُوتَكَ فَابْدَأْ بِالْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلِّ فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ أَرْبَعاً ثُمَّ قُلْ غَدَوْتُ بِحَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَ قُوَّتِهِ وَ غَدَوْتُ بِلَا حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَ لَا قُوَّةٍ بَلْ بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ يَا رَبِّ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ أَلْتَمِسُ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ كَمَا أَمَرْتَنِي فَيَسِّرْ لِي ذَلِكَ وَ أَنَا خَافِضٌ فِي عَافِيَتِكَ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Ibn Al-Waleed Bin Sabeeh, from his father who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Waleed! Where is your shop from the Masjid?’ So I said, ‘By its door’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whenever you intend to go to your shop, so begin with the Masjid, and pray two Rak’at therein, or four, then say, ‘I came with the Might of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and His<sup>azwj</sup> Strength, and I came without any might from me nor strength, but, by You<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Your<sup>azwj</sup> Strength, O Lord<sup>azwj</sup> of the worlds. I am Your<sup>azwj</sup> servant seeking from Your<sup>azwj</sup> Grace just as You<sup>azwj</sup> Commanded me, therefore Make that to be easy for me, and I am free from anxiety in Your<sup>azwj</sup> well-being’.
