كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَراً جَمَعَ عِيَالَهُ فِي بَيْتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ الْغَدَاةَ نَفْسِي وَ مَالِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي الشَّاهِدَ مِنَّا وَ الْغَائِبَ اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنَا وَ احْفَظْ عَلَيْنَا اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا فِي جِوَارِكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَسْلُبْنَا نِعْمَتَكَ وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ مَا بِنَا مِنْ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al Haris Bin Muhammad Al Ahowl, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya Al Ijaly who said, ‘It was such that whenever Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> intended the travel, would gather his<sup>asws</sup> dependents in a room, then say: ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I<sup>asws</sup> entrust to You<sup>azwj</sup>, myself<sup>asws</sup>, and my<sup>asws</sup> wealth, and my<sup>asws</sup> family, and my<sup>asws</sup> children, the ones present from us and the absent. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Protect us and Protect upon us. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Make us to be in Your<sup>azwj</sup> vicinity. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Do not Confiscate Your<sup>azwj</sup> Bounties from us, and do not Change what is with us, from good health from You<sup>azwj</sup> and Your<sup>azwj</sup> Grace’.
