رَوَى عُمَرُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "مَنِ اِشْتَرَى دَابَّةً فَلْيَقُمْ مِنْ جَانِبِهَا اَلْأَيْسَرِ وَ يَأْخُذُ نَاصِيَتَهَا بِيَدِهِ اَلْيُمْنَى وَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا فَاتِحَةَ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ "قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ" وَ اَلْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ آخِرَ اَلْحَشْرِ وَ آخِرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ "قُلِ اُدْعُوا اَللّٰهَ أَوِ اُدْعُوا اَلرَّحْمٰنَ" وَ آيَةَ اَلْكُرْسِيِّ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَمَانُ تِلْكَ اَلدَّابَّةِ مِنَ اَلْآفَاتِ".
Umar ibn Ibrahim narrated from Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام who said: "Whoever buys an animal should stand on its left side, hold its forelock with his right hand, and recite over its head: Surah Al-Fatiha: the Opening of the Book, Surah Al-Ikhlas (Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad), Surah Al-Falaq and Surah Al-Nas (the two Mu'awwidhatayn) - two chapters of seeking refuge The last verses of Surah Al-Hashr, The last verse of Surah Bani Isra'il (Al-Isra'): 'Say, call upon Allah سبحانه وتعالى or call upon the Most Merciful', Ayat Al-Kursi Verily, this will serve as protection for the animal from afflictions."

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا اِشْتَرَيْتَ جَارِيَةً فَقُلِ: اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَشِيرُكَ وَ أَسْتَخِيرُكَ وَ إِذَا اِشْتَرَيْتَ دَابَّةً أَوْ رَأْساً فَقُلِ: اَللَّهُمَّ قَدِّرْ لِي أَطْوَلَهُنَّ حَيَاةً وَ أَكْثَرَهُنَّ مَنْفَعَةً وَ خَيْرَهُنَّ عَاقِبَةً ".
Ibn Faddal narrated from Thalabah ibn Maymun, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام who said: "When you purchase a bondwoman, say: O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I seek Your سبحانه وتعالى counsel and ask for Your سبحانه وتعالى guidance. And when you purchase an animal or livestock, say: O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, decree for me the longest life, the greatest benefit, and the best outcome among them."
