Imam -asws replied, take a Tasbeeh, read Allah ho Akbr (34), Alhamdulillah (33) and Subhan Allah (33) and then say La-e-la-ha illila wahdahu la Shareek lahu, laho alMulak wala, Alhamdu yahiya wa yumeet wa yumeet, wa yahiya be yadehi alkhar walahu, Aktilaaf al laal wal Nihar howa Alah Kul Shain Qadeer (10 times). [52] Prayers for Waking-Up for an Appointment: Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws said One should read the last Verses of ‘Al-Kahf’ [53] if he/she wants to wake-up at a desired time.

[54] It is referred to Imam Abu Abdullah -asws that Rasool Allah -saww said, whoever wants to leave his bed for prayers for some time at night, he should recite Bismillah, ya Allah -azwj safeguard me from becoming fearless, do not let me forget in remembering You -azwj and please do not include me among ignorant and wake me up at ‘such and such Saa’ [time].

[55] Prayers Before leaving Home: Imam Abu Abdullah -asws said whoever would recite Verses of Sura-e-‘Qul ho waAllah ho ahad’ [56] 10 times at the time of leaving home will remain in the protection of Allah -azwj until safely returning back. [57] Prayers Before Setting off for Journey: Imam Raza -asws said to Sabah, O Sabah when you intend to set-off for a journey, stand on your door and recite Sura-e-Alhamd [58] in front of you, on your right-hand side and then on your left-hand side.

Repeat the same with Aiatul Kursi [59] (first toward front then toward right and then towards left) and then should say Ya Allah -azwj protect me including what accompanies me and keep me in peace and what is in my company and make me reach my destination along with it. Allah -azwj will take care of you and your belongings and will help you in reaching at your destination, without any harm or damage.

Do you know about someone who managed to save himself during a journey but his accompanying stuff/person were destroyed or he had reached his destination but without his belongs and his companions?
