The Knowledgeable scholar Abu Ali Hasan bin Abi Jaafar Al-Tousi narrated from his blessed father Abu Jaafar Mohammad bin Hasan Al-Tousi, from Abu Mohammad Hasan bin Mohammad bin Yahya Al-Fahham, from Abul Hasan Mohammad bin Ahmad bin Ubaidullah Al-Mansouri, from Abu Serri Sahl bin Yaqoub bin I'shaaq known as Abi No'aas who said:
I said to Ali bin Mohammad (A.S), "O my Master, I have heard a hadith from Hasan bin Abdullah Al-Motahhar, from Mohammad bin Sulaymaan Al-Dailami, from his father, from our master, Imam Al-Sadiq (A.S), about choosing the days of the month for travelling, Can I read it to you, and can you correct me accordingly?"
Ali bin Mohammad (A.S) replied, "Read." So I read the hadith for him and he corrected some of my mistakes.
Then I said, "O my master, we are refrained from travelling on most of these days. Can you teach me how to prevent the evil if I do have to travel on one of these days?"
Ali bin Mohammad (A.S) replied:
"Our Wilayat protects our Shia even if they are caught in the waves of the sea or in the darkness of the desert or if they are surrounded by lions, wolves and the enemies from amongst the men and the jinn. Our Shia will be safe with our Wilayat. So entrust Allah and be loyal in your Wilayat of your pure Imams (A.S) and travel whenever you want and wherever you want.
Every morning recite this Dua three times:
O Allah! I start my day by taking refuge in your invincible protection, that cannot be postponed nor changed, from the evil of every oppressor, disaster, and anyone You have created or anything that is created from Your creations that speaks or is quiet. I start my day protected from anything that is feared because I believe in the Wilayat of the family of the Prophet (P.B.U.H).
I start my day protected from anyone who intends to harm me with the invincible wall that has been created around me for my loyalty and my acknowledgement of the rights of the family of the Prophet (P.B.U.H) and for holding on to their rope.
O Allah! I am certain that Haqq is for them, it is with them, it is in them, and it is to them.
I befriend their friends and I stay away from those whom they abandon.
O Allah! Send your blessings to Mohammad and the family of Mohammad, and protect me from the evil of that which I fear through the family of the Prophet (P.B.U.H).
O Mighty! Keep the enemies away from me! O Creator of the heavens and the earth! "We have set a barrier in front of them and a barrier behind them and covered them over so that they do not see" [36:9]
Imam Ali bin Mohammad (A.S) continued:
Recite this Dua three times in the evening also and you will be protected from whatever you fear and you will be safe from danger.
If you have to travel on one of the warned days, do the following before you travel:
Say, "Praise is to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds."
Then recite Sura Al-Falaq, Al-Nas, Ayatol Kursi, Al-Qadr and the last verse from Aal-e-Imran.
Then say,
O Allah! Those who seek purification find it with you and receive their strength from your mighty power. There is no strength except that which is from you and there is no power except that which is from you.
I ask you through your chosen creation and the best of the creation, Mohammad (P.B.U.H), Your Prophet and his family, to send your blessings on them and to protect me from any evil or harm on this day, and to sustain me with blessings, a good ending and the granting of my desires.
O Allah! Protect me from the evil of the deviating oppressors and anyone else with power who might want to harm me.
O Allah! Protect me from any evil or disaster. Change my fear to safety and change my difficulties to ease.
O Allah! Protect me from the harm of your slaves so they do not prevent me from achieving my goals.
Verily you have power over all things and all affairs return to you.
You are the Lord and there is nothing whatsoever like you. You are All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
