9ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَنْ رَوَاهُ قَالَ قَالَ إِذَا أَحْزَنَكَ أَمْرٌ فَقُلْ فِي آخِرِ سُجُودِكَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ تُكَرِّرُ ذَلِكَ اكْفِيَانِي مَا أَنَا فِيهِ فَإِنَّكُمَا كَافِيَانِ وَاحْفَظَانِي بِإِذْنِ الله فَإِنَّكُمَا حَافِظَانِ.

Published English translation

9. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Asbat from Isma’Il ibn Yasar from certain individuals who narrated to him and who has said the following: “When something causes you sadness, say in your last Sajdah (prostration); ‘O Jibril (Gabriel), O Muhammad, O Jibril (Gabriel), O Muhammad (a.s.) repeat these words, suffice me in the condition I am; you both are sufficient for me, protect me by the permission of Allah; you both are protectors.’”
