9ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لا تَبِيتَ لَيْلَةً حَتَّى تَعَوَّذَ بِأَحَدَ عَشَرَ حَرْفاً قُلْتُ أَخْبِرْنِي بِهَا قَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ الله وَأَعُوذُ بِقُدْرَةِ الله وَأَعُوذُ بِجَلالِ الله وَأَعُوذُ بِسُلْطَانِ الله وَأَعُوذُ بِجَمَالِ الله وَأَعُوذُ بِدَفْعِ الله وَأَعُوذُ بِمَنْعِ الله وَأَعُوذُ بِجَمْعِ الله وَأَعُوذُ بِمُلْكِ الله وَأَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِ الله وَأَعُوذُ بِرَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَبَرَأَ وَذَرَأَ وَتَعَوَّذْ بِهِ كُلَّمَا شِئْتَ.

9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from certain individuals of his people from Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah said to me, ‘If you can, do not go to sleep without seeking protection with eleven letters.’ I then asked, ‘What are they?’ The Imam told me to say, ‘I seek protection with the majesty of Allah, I seek protection with the power of Allah, I seek protection with the glory of Allah, I seek protection with the authority of Allah, I seek protection with the beauty of Allah, I seek protection with the defense of Allah, I seek protection with the prevention of Allah, I seek protection with the community of Allah, I seek protection with the possession of Allah, I seek protection with the face of Allah, I seek protection with the Messenger of Allah against the evil of whatever He has created, spread and settled. ’ The Imam said, ‘You may seek protection with these letters whenever you like.’”
