Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 7
وَ رَوَى هَارُونُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا أَرَادَ اَلْخُرُوجَ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَمْوَالِهِ اِشْتَرَى اَلسَّلاَمَةَ مِنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِمَا تَيَسَّرَ لَهُ وَ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ إِذَا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي اَلرِّكَابِ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اِنْصَرَفَ حَمِدَ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَ شَكَرَهُ وَ تَصَدَّقَ بِمَا تَيَسَّرَ لَهُ».
It is narrated by Harun ibn Kharejah from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who reported from Abu Ja'far, peace be upon him: "Ali ibn al-Husayn, peace be upon them both, whenever he intended to travel to one of his properties, would purchase safety from Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, with whatever was available to him. This would be done as he placed his foot in the stirrup. If Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, safeguarded him and he returned safely, he would praise and thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, and give charity with whatever was available to him."
