4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ وَبَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الشَّعِيرِيِّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَلْثَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ تَقُولُ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ أَصْبَحْتُ بِالله مُؤْمِناً عَلَى دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَسُنَّتِهِ وَدِينِ عَلِيٍّ وَسُنَّتِهِ وَدِينِ الأوْصِيَاءِ وَسُنَّتِهِمْ آمَنْتُ بِسِرِّهِمْ وَعَلانِيَتِهِمْ وَشَاهِدِهِمْ وَغَائِبِهِمْ وَأَعُوذُ بِالله مِمَّا اسْتَعَاذَ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) وَعَلِيٌّ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) وَالأوْصِيَاءُ وَأَرْغَبُ إِلَى الله فِيمَا رَغِبُوا إِلَيْهِ وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله.

Published English translation

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Hajjal and Bakr ibn Muhammad from abu Ishaq al-Sha’Iri from Yazid ibn Kalthamah from abu ‘Abd Allah or abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “In the morning say, ‘This morning I believe in Allah in the religion of Muhammad and his tradition, Sunnah , the religion of Ali and his tradition, the religion of the successors (of the Holy Prophet from his family) and their tradition. I believe in their secrets and that which is public of them, those present of them as well as those absent. I seek refuge before Allah from everything against which the Messenger of Allah, Ali and the successors (of the Holy Prophet from his family) sought refuge. I am interested in everything that was of interest to them. There are no means and no power without the help of Allah.’”
