وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ: «إِذَا عَزَمَ اَللَّهُ لَكَ عَلَى اَلْبَحْرِ فَقُلِ اَلَّذِي قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: «بِسْمِ اَللّٰهِ مَجْرٰاهٰا وَ مُرْسٰاهٰا إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ» فَإِذَا اِضْطَرَبَ بِكَ اَلْبَحْرُ فَاتَّكِ عَلَى جَانِبِكَ اَلْأَيْمَنِ وَ قُلْ: بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ اُسْكُنْ بِسَكِينَةِ اَللَّهِ وَ قِرَّ بِقَرَارِ اَللَّهِ وَ اِهْدَأْ بِإِذْنِ اَللَّهِ وَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ.
Abu Ja'far (a.s) said to some of his companions: "When Allah (swt) grants you the opportunity to embark on the sea, recite what Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'In the Name of Allah (swt) shall be its sailing and its anchoring; indeed, my Lord (azj) is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful' (Qur'an 11:41). If the sea becomes turbulent for you, lean on your right side and say: 'In the Name of Allah (swt), be calm with the tranquility of Allah (swt), be settled with the settling of Allah (swt), and be at peace by the permission of Allah (swt), and there is no power nor strength except by Allah (swt).'"
