22ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئاً أَقُولُهُ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتُ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتُ فَقَالَ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَلا يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ غَيْرُهُ الْحَمْدُ لله كَمَا يُحِبُّ الله أَنْ يُحْمَدَ الْحَمْدُ لله كَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ اللهمَّ أَدْخِلْنِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَدْخَلْتَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّداً وَآلَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ أَخْرَجْتَ مِنْهُ مُحَمَّداً وَآلَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَصَلَّى الله عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ.

Published English translation

22. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) to instruct me with something that I should say in the morning and in the evening. The Imam said say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, who does as He wills, and does not do what anyone else wants. All praise belongs to Allah, as Allah loves to be praised. All praise belongs to Allah, as He deserves. O Lord, keep me in every good in which You have kept Muhammad and his family and keep me out of every evil from which You have kept out Muhammad and his family. O Lord, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family.’”
