رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «تَصَدَّقْ وَ اُخْرُجْ أَيَّ يَوْمٍ شِئْتَ.
It is narrated by Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Abdul Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj that Abu Abdullah (a.s) said: "Give charity and then set out on your journey on any day you wish."
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَ يُكْرَهُ اَلسَّفَرُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلْأَيَّامِ اَلْمَكْرُوهَةِ مِثْلِ اَلْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَ غَيْرِهِ فَقَالَ «اِفْتَتِحْ سَفَرَكَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَ اُخْرُجْ إِذَا بَدَا لَكَ وَ اِقْرَأْ آيَةَ اَلْكُرْسِيِّ وَ اِحْتَجِمْ إِذَا بَدَا لَكَ».
It is narrated from Hammad ibn Uthman who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) whether it is disliked to travel on certain days considered unfavorable, such as Wednesdays and others. Imam (a.s) replied: "Begin your journey with charity, set out whenever it seems appropriate to you, recite Ayat al-Kursi, and perform cupping (hijama) if you feel the need."
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ فِي اَلنُّجُومِ وَ أَعْرِفُهَا وَ أَعْرِفُ اَلطَّالِعَ فَيَدْخُلُنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ «إِذَا وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِكَ شَيْءٌ فَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَى أَوَّلِ مِسْكِينٍ ثُمَّ اِمْضِ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَدْفَعُ عَنْكَ ».
It is narrated from Ibn Abi Umair who said: I used to observe the stars and understand their movements and their rise, and from this, certain thoughts would enter my mind. I complained about this to Abu al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim, peace be upon them both. Imam (a.s) said: "If something enters your mind, give charity to the first needy person you encounter, and then proceed, for Allah (swt), the Exalted and Glorious, will ward off harm from you."
وَ رَوَى كِرْدِينٌ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ دَفَعَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْهُ نَحْسَ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمِ».
It is narrated from Kirdin, who reported from Abu Abdullah (a.s): "Whoever gives charity in the morning, Allah (swt), the Exalted and Glorious, will avert the misfortune of that day from him."
وَ رَوَى هَارُونُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا أَرَادَ اَلْخُرُوجَ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَمْوَالِهِ اِشْتَرَى اَلسَّلاَمَةَ مِنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِمَا تَيَسَّرَ لَهُ وَ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ إِذَا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي اَلرِّكَابِ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اِنْصَرَفَ حَمِدَ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَ شَكَرَهُ وَ تَصَدَّقَ بِمَا تَيَسَّرَ لَهُ».
It is narrated by Harun ibn Kharejah from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who reported from Abu Ja'far, peace be upon him: "Ali ibn al-Husayn, peace be upon them both, whenever he intended to travel to one of his properties, would purchase safety from Allah (swt), the Exalted, with whatever was available to him. This would be done as he placed his foot in the stirrup. If Allah (swt), the Exalted, safeguarded him and he returned safely, he would praise and thank Allah (swt), the Exalted, and give charity with whatever was available to him."
