25ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ فِي دُبُرِ صَلاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَدُبُرِ صَلاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ بِسْمِ الله الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ دَفَعَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْهُ سَبْعِينَ نَوْعاً مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلاءِ أَهْوَنُهَا الرِّيحُ وَالْبَرَصُ وَالْجُنُونُ وَإِنْ كَانَ شَقِيّاً مُحِيَ مِنَ الشَّقَاءِ وَكُتِبَ فِي السُّعَدَاءِ.

Published English translation

25. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Isma’Il ibn Mehran from Ali ibn abu Hamza from abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever says after the Morningprayer and Maghrib (sunset) seven times, ‘(I begin) in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. There are no means and no power without the help of Allah, the Most High, the Most Great,’ Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will repel seventy kinds of misfortunes of which the least is foul smells, leprosy and insanity, and if he is listed as an unfortunate one, his name will be deleted from such list to be written down with fortunate ones.’”
