وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا اِشْتَرَيْتَ جَارِيَةً فَقُلِ: اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَشِيرُكَ وَ أَسْتَخِيرُكَ وَ إِذَا اِشْتَرَيْتَ دَابَّةً أَوْ رَأْساً فَقُلِ: اَللَّهُمَّ قَدِّرْ لِي أَطْوَلَهُنَّ حَيَاةً وَ أَكْثَرَهُنَّ مَنْفَعَةً وَ خَيْرَهُنَّ عَاقِبَةً ".
Ibn Faddal narrated from Thalabah ibn Maymun, from Abu Abdillah (a.s) who said: "When you purchase a bondwoman, say: O Allah (swt), I seek Your (swt) counsel and ask for Your (swt) guidance. And when you purchase an animal or livestock, say: O Allah (swt), decree for me the longest life, the greatest benefit, and the best outcome among them."
