6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فِي الْهَمِّ قَالَ تَغْتَسِلُ وَتُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَتَقُولُ يَا فَارِجَ الْهَمِّ وَيَا كَاشِفَ الْغَمِّ يَا رَحْمَانَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَرَحِيمَهُمَا فَرِّجْ هَمِّي وَاكْشِفْ غَمِّي يَا الله الْوَاحِدُ الأحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ اعْصِمْنِي وَطَهِّرْنِي وَاذْهَبْ بِبَلِيَّتِي وَاقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ.

Published English translation

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from certain individuals of his people from Isma’Il ibn Jabir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “When you are concerned about something, take a shower and perform two Rak’at (a prayer consisting of two times bowing down on one’s knees) prayer and say, ‘O the One who clears up concerns, removes sorrow, O the Beneficent for this world and the next and the Merciful for both, change my concern to happiness, remove my sorrow, O Allah, the One and only Self- sufficient, who is not born from anyone nor has given birth to anyone, the like of whom there is no one, protect me, cleanse me and remove my misfortune,’ then read verse 255 of Chapter 2, Chapter 1 14 and 1 13 of the Holy Quran.”
