The Word in the Morning and Evening

18. Ali has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurara from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “One in the morning should say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the morning, all praise belongs to Allah, who opens the morning, [ three times]. O Lord, open for me the door of the matter in which there is felicitation and good health, O Lord, prepare its way for me and show me the way out of it. O Lord, if You have decided that any of Your creatures should over power me in an evil way, seize him from all directions, front, back, right, left, above and below and suffice me by whatever means You like, whenever and however You want.’”
