4ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَابِ دَارِهِ أَعُوذُ بِمَا عَاذَتْ بِهِ مَلائِكَةُ الله مِنْ شَرِّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْجَدِيدِ الَّذِي إِذَا غَابَتْ شَمْسُهُ لَمْ تَعُدْ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ غَيْرِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَنْ نَصَبَ لأوْلِيَاءِ الله وَمِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَالإنْسِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ السِّبَاعِ وَالْهَوَامِّ وَمِنْ شَرِّ رُكُوبِ الْمَحَارِمِ كُلِّهَا أُجِيرُ نَفْسِي بِالله مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ غَفَرَ الله لَهُ وَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَكَفَاهُ الْهَمَّ وَحَجَزَهُ عَنِ السُّوءِ وَعَصَمَهُ مِنَ الشَّرِّ.

Published English translation

4. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Asim ibn Hamid from abu Basir from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever says, when coming out of his door, ‘I seek protection with that by which the angels of Allah seek protection, against the evil of this new day which when it is its sunset it will not come back, I seek protection against the evil of my soul and the evil of the others, I seek protection against Satan and those who are against the friends of Allah, I seek protection against the evil of Jinn, human beings, the beast and the reptiles and against the evil of involvement in all of the unlawful matters and I place myself under the protection of Allah against all evil,’ Allah will forgive him, accept his repentance, suffice him in what is important to him. He will be safeguarded against evil and protected from misfortunes.”
