So it is better for the person to say: Allah -azwj , furnish me with the halal means and protect me from the haram.

Tradition 2.2 And I have seen a hand written tradition by Saad bin Abdulla in which he refers to Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws , saying the following : “A person who regularly forgets his prayer acts, is advised to say, upon entering the lavatory, with the name of Allah -azwj and under Allah -azwj ’s protection, I beg for Allah -azwj ’s mercy to stay away from being getting unclean and secular and from Satan’s deception-who himself is a swindler and turns others to be like himself .

Tradition 2.3 It is narrated from Hazrat Imam Mohammed Baqir -asws that prior to removing your clothes inside the lavatory, one should recite ‘Bismil-allah’ so that Satan would turn away and would not look at your private parts until you have used the utilities and come outside. Tradition 2.4 Once a person asked from Hazrat Imam Mohammed Baqir -asws where shall a stranger/traveller go in order to use the toilet?

Imam -asws replied one should refrain from sitting near canals, passages, fruit bearing trees and those places where people will curse him. The person asked which are those places, Imam -asws replied in front of gates of houses. Tradition 2.5 It was asked from Hazrat Imam Hassan bin Ali -asws what are the aticates of using the lavatory? Imam -asws replied one should not face or turn back towards Qibla neither should face or turn back towards the wind direction.
