Original Arabic text

3ـ وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكْتَالَ بِالْمِكْيَالِ الأوْفَى فَلْيَقُلْ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُومَ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَسَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَالْحَمْدُ لله رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

Published English translation

3. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever likes to receive his reward in a correct measurement, when leaving a gathering should say, ‘Glory belongs to your Lord, the Lord Who is by far more Majestic than what they (certain people) call Him to be. May peace be upon the Messengers of Allah. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds.’”
