Prayer on a Ship
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 62
وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ: «إِذَا عَزَمَ اَللَّهُ لَكَ عَلَى اَلْبَحْرِ فَقُلِ اَلَّذِي قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: «بِسْمِ اَللّٰهِ مَجْرٰاهٰا وَ مُرْسٰاهٰا إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ» فَإِذَا اِضْطَرَبَ بِكَ اَلْبَحْرُ فَاتَّكِ عَلَى جَانِبِكَ اَلْأَيْمَنِ وَ قُلْ: بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ اُسْكُنْ بِسَكِينَةِ اَللَّهِ وَ قِرَّ بِقَرَارِ اَللَّهِ وَ اِهْدَأْ بِإِذْنِ اَللَّهِ وَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ.
Abu Ja'far عليه السلام said to some of his companions: "When Allah سبحانه وتعالى grants you the opportunity to embark on the sea, recite what Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'In the Name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى shall be its sailing and its anchoring; indeed, my Lord عز وجل is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful' (Qur'an 11:41). If the sea becomes turbulent for you, lean on your right side and say: 'In the Name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, be calm with the tranquility of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, be settled with the settling of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and be at peace by the permission of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and there is no power nor strength except by Allah سبحانه وتعالى.'"
