Various Traditions From al-Ridha صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم

30-11 Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Waleed - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Sinan, on the authority of Al-Ridha Ali ibn Musa صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, “In the Name of God the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Glorified God’s Name is closer than the black part of the eye is to its white part.” Al-Ridha صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم also said, “Whenever my father صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم left the house he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, “In the Name of God the Beneficent, the Merciful. I left home using God’s Strength and Power, and not by my own strength and power. O Lord! I am seeking sustenance provided by Thee. Then please grant it to me along with health.”
