“Once I said to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, I am afraid of scorpions. The Imam said, ‘Look at the little bear (Ursa Minor ) and of the three stars next to the middle one of them there is a small star. Arabs call it al-Suha’. We call it Aslama, look at it gazing every night and say, ‘O Lord of Aslama, confer al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, hasten their happiness and grant us safety and protection.’ Ishaq has said that he did not miss it except once at which time a scorpion stung bit him.’”
