رَوَى بَكْرُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «مَنْ خَرَجَ وَحْدَهُ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلْيَقُلْ مَا شَاءَ اَللَّهُ لاَ حَوْلَ وَ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ اَللَّهُمَّ آنِسْ وَحْشَتِي وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى وَحْدَتِي وَ أَدِّ غَيْبَتِي.

Bakr ibn Salih narrated from Sulayman ibn Ja‘far, from Abu al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (a.s), who said: "Whoever sets out alone on a journey should say: 'Whatever Allah (swt) wills happens. There is no power and no strength except with Allah (swt). O Allah (swt), comfort my solitude, assist me in my loneliness, and fulfill my responsibilities in my absence.'"
