قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا جُبَارَةُ بْنُ الْمُغَلِّسِ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
أَمَانٌ لِأُمَّتِي مِنَ الْغَرَقِ إِذَا رَكِبُوا فِي الْبَحْرِ أَنْ يَقُولُوا: بِسْمِ اللهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسَاهَا إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ. وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ الْآيَةَ

✧ A safeguard for my community from drowning when they embark on the sea is to say: “In the name of God, its course and its berth. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful. And they did not appraise God with true appraisal…” [Qur'an 11:41, 6:91]
