30ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَنَظَرْتَ إِلَى الشَّمْسِ فِي غُرُوبٍ وَإِدْبَارٍ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ الله الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي يَصِفُ وَلا يُوصَفُ وَيَعْلَمُ وَلا يُعْلَمُ يَعْلَمُ خَائِنَةَ الأعْيُنِ وَمَا تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِ الله الْكَرِيمِ وَبِاسْمِ الله الْعَظِيمِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ وَمَا بَرَأَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَى وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا ظَهَرَ وَمَا بَطَنَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا كَانَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ أَبِي مُرَّةَ وَمَا وَلَدَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ الرَّسِيسِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا وَصَفْتُ وَمَا لَمْ أَصِفْ فَالْحَمْدُ لله رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهَا أَمَانٌ مِنَ السَّبُعِ وَمِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ سُبْحَانَ الله الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ ثَلاثاً اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَمِنْ تَحْوِيلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَمِنْ فَجْأَةِ نَقِمَتِكَ وَمِنْ دَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا سَبَقَ فِي الْكِتَابِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِعِزَّةِ مُلْكِكَ وَشِدَّةِ قُوَّتِكَ وَبِعَظِيمِ سُلْطَانِكَ وَبِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ.

30. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Hammad from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ibrahim al-Ja’fari who has said the following: “I heard abu al-Hassan saying, ‘In the evening when you see the sun is disappearing say, ‘(I begin) in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Who has no children, never had a partner in the kingdom, all praise belongs to Allah Who describes things and Himself is beyond description, knows and is not known. He knows the secret glance of eyes and what hearts hide. I seek protection with Allah’s honorable face, with Allah’s great name against the evil of what He has spread and settled, the evil under the ground, the evil of what is manifest or hidden, the evil of things in the night and during the day, the evil of abu Murrah (Satan) and what he has given birth to, the evil of false emotional attraction, the evil of what I mentioned and what I have not mentioned. All praise belongs to Allah, Cherisher of the worlds.’ The Imam said, ‘It is protection against beasts, Satan condemned to be stoned and his offspring.’ Amir al- Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib would say in the morning, ‘Glory belongs to Allah, the King, the Most Holy, three times, O Lord, I seek protection against my loss of Your bounties, change in good health that You have given. Your sudden displeasure, the approaching of misfortune, and the evil of what came to pass in the book. O Lord, I plead before You through the majesty of Your kingdom, the intensity of Your power, the greatness of Your domain and Your power over Your creatures.’”
