رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:« تَقُولُ بَعْدَ اَلْعِشَاءَيْنِ اَللَّهُمَّ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ اَللَّيْلِ وَ اَلنَّهَارِ وَ مَقَادِيرُ اَلدُّنْيَا وَ اَلْآخِرَةِ وَ مَقَادِيرُ اَلْمَوْتِ وَ اَلْحَيَاةِ وَ مَقَادِيرُ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ اَلْقَمَرِ وَ مَقَادِيرُ اَلنَّصْرِ وَ اَلْخِذْلاَنِ وَ مَقَادِيرُ اَلْغِنَى وَ اَلْفَقْرِ اَللَّهُمَّ اِدْرَأْ عَنِّي شَرَّ فَسَقَةِ اَلْجِنِّ وَ اَلْإِنْسِ وَ اِجْعَلْ مُنْقَلَبِي إِلَى خَيْرٍ دَائِمٍ وَ نَعِيمٍ لاَ يَزُولُ»
It is narrated from (Imam) Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, peace be upon him:
Imam عليه السلام said: “Say after the two night prayers (‘al-Ishaayn’): ‘O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, in Your hand are the measures of night and day, the measures of this world and the Hereafter, the measures of death and life, the measures of the sun and the moon, the measures of victory and defeat, and the measures of wealth and poverty. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, repel from me the evil of the wicked ones from among jinn and mankind, and make my return one of everlasting goodness and never-ending bliss.’”
