4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Isa ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Qummiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that you should say, ‘O Allah, I appeal before You to grant my soul certainty, forgiveness and good health in this life and in the next life. O Allah, You are my trustee, my hope, my shoulder (power) and my supporter. With Your help I disembark and travel.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If one travels alone he should say, ‘Whatever Allah wills happens. There is no power without the help of Allah. O Allah, comfort me in my fear, help me in my loneliness and make the end of my absence (from my home) closer.’”
