2418 - كَانَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «إِذَا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي اَلرِّكَابِ يَقُولُ: «۝ سُبْحٰانَ اَلَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنٰا هٰذٰا وَ مٰا كُنّٰا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ ۝» وَ يُسَبِّحُ اَللَّهَ سَبْعاً وَ يُحَمِّدُ اَللَّهَ سَبْعاً وَ يُهَلِّلُ اَللَّهَ سَبْعاً».

Hadith.2418 - When Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) placed his foot in the stirrup, he would say: "Glory be to the One who has subjected this to us, and we could not have done so on our own." (Surah Az-Zukhruf 43:13) Imam (as) would then glorify Allah (swt) seven times, praise Allah (swt) seven times, and declare Allah’s (swt) oneness seven times.

2419 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أَمْسَكْتُ لِأَمِيرِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِالرِّكَابِ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ تَبَسَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَأَيْتُكَ رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ وَ تَبَسَّمْتَ قَالَ «نَعَمْ يَا أَصْبَغُ أَمْسَكْتُ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ كَمَا أَمْسَكْتَ لِي فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ تَبَسَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي وَ سَأُخْبِرُكَ كَمَا أَخْبَرَنِي أَمْسَكْتُ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اَلشَّهْبَاءَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ تَبَسَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ تَبَسَّمْتَ فَقَالَ «يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَرْكَبُ مَا أَنْعَمَ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ آيَةَ اَلسُّخْرَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اَللَّهَ اَلَّذِي «لاٰ إِلٰهَ إِلاّٰ هُوَ اَلْحَيُّ اَلْقَيُّومُ» وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ اَللَّهُمَّ اِغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ اَلذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ إِلاَّ قَالَ اَلسَّيِّدُ اَلْكَرِيمُ «يَا مَلاَئِكَتِي عَبْدِي يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ اَلذُّنُوبَ غَيْرِي اِشْهَدُوا أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ» ».

Hadith.2419 - It is narrated from al-Asbagh ibn Nubata that he said: "I held the stirrup for Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) as he intended to mount. He raised his head and smiled. I said: 'O Amir al-Mu'minin, I saw you raise your head and smile.' Imam (as) replied: 'Yes, O Asbagh. I held the stirrup for the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) just as you held it for me. He raised his head to the sky and smiled. I asked him just as you asked me, and I will tell you as he told me. I held the stirrup of the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) as he was about to mount al-Shahba (his mount). He raised his head toward the sky and smiled. I said, "O Messenger of Allah (swt), you raised your head toward the sky and smiled." Prophet (sw) replied: "O Ali, whenever anyone mounts something Allah (swt) has blessed them with and then recites Ayat al-Sukhrah (the verse of subjugation: Surah Az-Zukhruf 43:13-14) and says; 'Astaghfirullah al-ladhi la ilaha illa Huwa al-Hayy al-Qayyum, wa atubu ilayh. Allahumma ighfir li dhunubi fa innahu la yaghfiru al-dhunuba illa Ant.' ‘O Allah (swt), I seek forgiveness from You, the One besides whom there is no deity, the Living, the Sustainer, and I repent to You. O Allah (swt), forgive my sins, for no one forgives sins except You’ Except that the Noble and Generous Lord (azj) says: 'O My angels, My servant knows that none forgives sins but Me. Bear witness that I have forgiven their sins.'""
