Chapter on the Prayer of the Eclipse

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ اَلْكُوفِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنِ اِبْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« مَنْ أَصَابَتْهُ زَلْزَلَةٌ فَلْيَقْرَأْ يَا مَنْ« يُمْسِكُ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَاَلْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولاٰ وَ لَئِنْ زٰالَتٰا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمٰا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كٰانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً» صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَمْسِكْ عَنَّا اَلسُّوءَ« إِنَّكَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ»» قَالَ« إِنَّ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا عِنْدَ اَلنَّوْمِ لَمْ يَسْقُطْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْبَيْتُ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى»
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Muhammad ibn Hammad al-Kufi from Muhammad ibn Khalid from Ubaydullah ibn al-Husayn from Ali ibn al-Husayn from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah from Ibn Yaqtin who said: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “Whoever is struck by an earthquake, let him recite: ‘O’ He who holds the heavens and the earth lest they cease to be, and if they were to cease, none could hold them after Him. Indeed, He is Forbearing, Forgiving” (Surah Fatir 35:41). Send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and withhold from us harm. Indeed, You are capable of all things (Surah Aal Imran 3:26).” Imam عليه السلام also said: “Indeed, whoever recites it at bedtime, the house will not collapse upon him, Allah عليه السلام willing.”
