A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Hassan ibn Ali from al-Hassan ibn al-Jahm from Ibrahim ibn Mihzam from a man who had heard abu al-Hassan (a.s.) saying the following: “Whoever reads verse 255 of Chapter 2 at the time of going to bed he will not fear paralysis, by the will of Allah, and whoever reads it after every obligatory prayer, poisonous things will not harm him.’ The Imam said, ‘Whoever forwards Chapter 112 between himself and a tyrant, Allah, the Most Majestic, will prevent the tyrant from harming him.

He reads it to all directions: his front, back, right and left. When he does so, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, provides him good dealings from the tyrant and protects him against his evil.’ The Imam said, ‘When you fear something read one hundred verses from the Holy Quran as you like and then say three times, “O Lord, remove the misfortune from me.’” رسل - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/509))
