اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اِتَّخِذْ مَسْجِداً فِي بَيْتِكَ فَإِذَا خِفْتَ شَيْئاً فَالْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْنِ غَلِيظَيْنِ مِنْ أَغْلَظِ ثِيَابِكَ فَصَلِّ فِيهِمَا ثُمَّ اُجْثُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْكَ فَاصْرُخْ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ سَلْهُ اَلْجَنَّةَ وَ تَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ اَلَّذِي تَخَافُهُ وَ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ اَللَّهُ مِنْكَ كَلِمَةَ بَغْيٍ وَ إِنْ أَعْجَبَتْكَ نَفْسَكَ وَ عَشِيرَتَكَ»
Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Aban from Hariz from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “Establish a place of prayer in your house, and if you fear something, then wear two thick garments from the thickest of your clothes, and pray in them. Then kneel on your knees and cry out to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, and ask Him عز وجل for Paradise, and seek refuge with Allah سبحانه وتعالى from the evil of what you fear. And beware lest Allah سبحانه وتعالى hears from you a single word of transgression (baghy), even if your soul and your clan please you.”
