رَوَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "مَنْ دَخَلَ سُوقاً أَوْ مَسْجِدَ جَمَاعَةٍ فَقَالَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيراً وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيراً وَ سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ بُكْرَةً وَ أَصِيلاً وَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ اَلْعَلِيِّ اَلْعَظِيمِ وَ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ عَدَلَتْ لَهُ حَجَّةً مَبْرُورَةً".
Asim ibn Humayd narrated from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said: "Whoever enters a marketplace or a congregational mosque and says once: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, alone, without any partner. Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the Greatest, immensely great. All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, abundantly. Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, morning and evening. There is no power and no strength except with Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Most High, the Most Great. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى send blessings upon Muhammad and his family. This will be equal to a blessed and accepted Hajj for him."

وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ اَلْأَنْصَارِيُّ عَنْ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "يَا أَبَا اَلْفَضْلِ أَ مَا لَكَ فِي اَلسُّوقِ مَكَانٌ تَقْعُدُ فِيهِ تُعَامِلُ اَلنَّاسَ" قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ "اِعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَغْدُو وَ يَرُوحُ إِلَى مَجْلِسِهِ وَ سُوقِهِ فَيَقُولُ حِينَ يَضَعُ رِجْلَهُ فِي اَلسُّوقِ: اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَ خَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ شَرِّ أَهْلِهَا إِلاَّ وَكَّلَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ، مَنْ يَحْفَظُهُ وَ يَحْفَظُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ قَدْ أَجَرْتُكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ شَرِّ أَهْلِهَا يَوْمَكَ هَذَا فَإِذَا جَلَسَ مَكَانَهُ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ فَيَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ حَلاَلاً طَيِّباً وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَفْقَةٍ خَاسِرَةٍ وَ يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ اَلْمَلَكُ اَلْمُوَكَّلُ أَبْشِرْ فَمَا فِي سُوقِكَ اَلْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ أَوْفَرُ نَصِيباً مِنْكَ وَ سَيَأْتِيكَ مَا قَسَمَ اَللَّهُ لَكَ مُوَفَّراً حَلاَلاً طَيِّباً مُبَارَكاً فِيهِ".
Abdullah ibn Hammad Al-Ansari narrated from Sadeer, who said: Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام said: "O Abu Al-Fadl, do you not have a place in the market where you sit and deal with people?" I said: "Yes." Imam عليه السلام said: "Know that any man who goes to his seat in the market, and when he places his foot in the market says: 'O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of its people, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of its people', Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Exalted, appoints an angel to protect him and preserve him until he returns to his home. The angel then says to him, 'I have safeguarded you from its evil and the evil of its people for this day.' And when he sits in his place, he should say: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, alone, without any partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You for lawful, pure sustenance from Your bounty, and I seek refuge in You from wronging others or being wronged, and I seek refuge in You from a bad transaction and a false oath.' When he says this, the appointed angel says, 'Rejoice! For there is no one in the market today with a greater share than you. And what Allah سبحانه وتعالى has decreed for you will come to you fully, lawfully, purely, and with blessings.'"

وَ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّ مَنْ ذَكَرَ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي اَلْأَسْوَاقِ غَفَرَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ بِعَدَدِ مَا فِيهَا مِنْ فَصِيحٍ وَ أَعْجَمَ".
It is narrated: "Whoever remembers Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Exalted, in the marketplaces, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will forgive him in proportion to the number of those in it, both those who speak and those who do not."

وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "مَنْ ذَكَرَ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي اَلْأَسْوَاقِ غَفَرَ لَهُ بِعَدَدِ أَهْلِهَا".
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Whoever remembers Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Exalted, in the marketplaces, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will forgive him by the number of its people."
