1.  Imam  Ja’far  Sadiq  (a.s.)  narrates  from  his  predecessors, who narrate from Amirul Momineen (a.s.), who narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who goes to a journey and   recites   the   verse:   Wa   lammaa   tawajjaha   tilqaa-a madyana…  till Allaahu  a’laa  maa  naqoolu  wakeel Allah will  protect  him  from  every  wild  animal,  thief,  oppressor and poisonous animals till he returns home. This deed keeps poverty and Satan away. Once Adam (a.s.) became seriously ill  and  began  to  fear.  He  complained  about  it  to  Jibraeel (a.s.) who told him, ‘Take a branch of a bitter almond and keep it on your chest’. He did so and was relieved from the fear  by  Allah. One  who  wants  that the  distance  becomes short for him while traveling should carry a stick of bitter almond.”
