رُوِيَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَنْ يَطْرُقَ اَلرَّجُلُ أَهْلَهُ لَيْلاً إِذَا جَاءَ مِنَ اَلْغَيْبَةِ حَتَّى يُؤْذِنَهُمْ.
It is narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, who said: The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) forbade a man from entering upon his family at night when returning from a journey, until he informs them beforehand.
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلسَّفَرُ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ اَلْعَذَابِ فَإِذَا قَضَى أَحَدُكُمْ سَفَرَهُ فَلْيُسْرِعِ اَلْإِيَابَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ.
Imam (a.s) said: "Travel is a portion of torment, so when one of you has completed their journey, let them hasten to return to their family."
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «سَيْرُ اَلْمَنَازِلِ يُنْفِدُ اَلزَّادَ وَ يُسِيءُ اَلْأَخْلاَقَ وَ يُخْلِقُ اَلثِّيَابَ وَ اَلسَّيْرُ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "Frequent travel depletes provisions, worsens manners, and wears out clothing. Travel is [ideally] for eighteen days."
وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «إِذَا ضَلَلْتُمُ اَلطَّرِيقَ فَتَيَامَنُوا ».
Abdullah ibn Maymun narrated with his chain of transmission that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) said: "If you lose your way, turn to the right."
وَ رَوَى جَعْفَرُ بْنُ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ عَلَى ذِرْوَةِ كُلِّ جِسْرٍ شَيْطَاناً فَإِذَا اِنْتَهَيْتَ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ يَرْحَلْ عَنْكَ.
Ja‘far ibn al-Qasim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s), who said: "At the top of every bridge, there is a devil. When you reach it, say: 'In the name of Allah (swt),' and it will depart from you."
وَ قَالَ أَبُو اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَنَا ضَامِنٌ لِمَنْ خَرَجَ يُرِيدُ سَفَراً مُعْتَمّاً تَحْتَ حَنَكِهِ ثَلاَثاً أَلاَّ يُصِيبَهُ اَلسَّرَقُ وَ اَلْغَرَقُ وَ اَلْحَرَقُ ».
Abu al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (a.s) said: "I guarantee for anyone who sets out on a journey while wearing a turban wrapped under their chin three things: they will not encounter theft, drowning, or burning."
