قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ أَ مَا لَكَ مَكَانٌ تَقْعُدُ فِيهِ فَتُعَامِلَ النَّاسَ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُؤْمِنٍ يَرُوحُ أَوْ يَغْدُو إِلَى مَجْلِسِهِ أَوْ سُوقِهِ فَيَقُولُ حِينَ يَضَعُ رِجْلَهُ فِي السُّوقِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهَا وَ خَيْرِ أَهْلِهَا إِلَّا وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ مَنْ يَحْفَظُهُ وَ يَحْفَظُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ قَدْ أُجِرْتَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ شَرِّ أَهْلِهَا يَوْمَكَ هَذَا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قَدْ رُزِقْتَ خَيْرَهَا وَ خَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا فِي يَوْمِكَ هَذَا ‘اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهَا وَ خَيْرِ أَهْلِهَا’ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ مَجْلِسَهُ قَالَ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ ‘أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ حَلَالًا طَيِّباً وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَفْقَةٍ خَاسِرَةٍ وَ يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ’ فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ الْمُوَكَّلُ بِهِ أَبْشِرْ فَمَا فِي سُوقِكَ الْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ أَوْفَرَ مِنْكَ حَظّاً قَدْ تَعَجَّلْتَ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ مُحِيَتْ عَنْكَ السَّيِّئَاتُ وَ سَيَأْتِيكَ مَا قَسَمَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مُوَفَّراً حَلَالًا طَيِّباً مُبَارَكاً فِيهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Hanaan, from his father wo said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O Abu Al-Fazl! Is there any place for you whereby you can sit in and do business with the people?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is none from a Believing man who goes or comes to his gathering or his marketplace, so he is saying when he places his foot in the marketplace, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I ask You<sup>azwj</sup> from its goodness and the goodness of its people’, except that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic would Allcoate with him one (Angel) who would protect him, and guard him until he returns to his house. So he (the Angel) would be saying to him: ‘I have rescued you from its evil and the evil of its people on this day of yours by the Permission of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, and I have graced its goodness and the goodness of its people to you in this day of yours’. So when he sits is his seat, he says when he sits, ‘I testify that there is no god except for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, One, not having any associates for Him<sup>azwj</sup>, and I testify that Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> is His<sup>azwj</sup> servant and His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup>. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I ask You<sup>azwj</sup> from Your<sup>azwj</sup> Grace, Permissible, good, and I seek Refuge with You<sup>azwj</sup> from being unjust and suffering injustice; and I seek Refuge with You<sup>azwj</sup> from loss-making deals and false oaths’. So when he says that, the Angel who is Allocated with him, says to him: ‘Receive glad tidings! There is no one in your market which is more ampler than you in a share. The good has been hastened and the evil has been obliterated from you, and you will be receiving what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Apportioned for you with ampleness, Permissible, good, with Blessings therein’.
