12ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ فِي دُبُرِ الْفَرِيضَةِ أَسْتَوْدِعُ الله الْعَظِيمَ الْجَلِيلَ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي وَوُلْدِي وَمَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ وَأَسْتَوْدِعُ الله الْمَرْهُوبَ الْمَخُوفَ الْمُتَضَعْضِعَ لِعَظَمَتِهِ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي وَوُلْدِي وَمَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ حُفَّ بِجَنَاحٍ مِنْ أَجْنِحَةِ جَبْرَئِيلَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) وَحُفِظَ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ.

12. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from la’ far ibn Muhammad from Yunus from certain individuals of our people from abu al- Jarud from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever, after an obligatory prayer, says, ‘Under the trust of Allah, the Great, the Most Glorious, I place myself, family, children and all those whose affairs concern me, under the trust of Allah, whose Greatness is awesome, frightful and unapproachable, I place myself, family, children and all those whose affairs concern me,’ he will be guarded under the wing of Jibril (Gabriel), his person, family and belongings will be protected.’”
