17ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ عَنِ الْعَلاءِ بْنِ كَامِلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعاً وَخِيفَةً وَدُونَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَيُمِيتُ وَيُحْيِي وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ قَالَ إِنَّ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَلَكِنْ قُلْ كَمَا أَقُولُ لَكَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَأَعُوذُ بِالله السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ حِينَ تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ وَحِينَ تَغْرُبُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ.

17. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar from al-‘Ala’ ibn Kamil who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah saying in the evening, ‘Remember (speak of) your Lord deep within yourselves, humbly and privately, instead of shouting out loud, (in prayer) in the mornings and evenings and do not be of the heedless ones,’ (7:205) and ‘No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah alone. Who has no partner. To Him belongs the kingdom and all praise. He gives life, causes death, causes death and gives life and He has power over all things.’ I (the narrator) said, ‘In His hand is all good.’ The Imam said, ‘All good is in His hand, however, say as 1 say to you ten times and say, ‘I seek protection with Allah, all Hearing and Omniscient,’ at sunrise and at sunset, ten times.”
