It is worth mentioning that the month of Safar is known as ominious  and unfortunate. To nullify it there is nothing better than giving  alms (sadaqah), reciting the du`as and the texts related for seeking  refuge to Allah.

As Fayd Kashani - the traditionalist - and others have stated, whoever  wants to be secured from the afflictions of this month, he should  recite the following ten times every day:

O He who has total, absolute and everlasting power, O He who overcomes  the impossible, O Victorious, O Victorious, O Victorious

Dwarfed are all that which have been created by Thee before Thy  majesty. Keep me safe from the evil any of the created beings may  direct at me O the praiseworthy; O He who is pleasant, O He who gives  joy, heart and confidence; O He who treats with love and kindness.


O "There is no god save Thee. Be Thou glorified. Verily I have been a  wrongdoer. Then We heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish.  Thus We save the momineen (believers) (Sura Anbiya ayah 87-88) ",



send blessings on Muhammad (saw) and on His Pure and Pious Descendants (asws)

Third Day of Safar

Sayyid ibn Tawus has quoted from Shia references that it is  recommended to say two rak`ats of prayer on this day. One should  recite in the first rak`at the surahs of al-Fatiha and al-Fath and the  surahs of al-Fatiha and al-Tawhid (Ikhlaas) in the second rak`at. When  he bids salutation of the prayer, he should ask Allah to grant His  Blessings upon the Prophet (saw) and his progeny (asws) (salawat) one  hundred times; then he should also say the following one hundred times:

O Allah! Curse be upon the family of Abu Sufian (la)

And one should ask Allah  for forgiveness one hundred times; then he  should ask for his requests.
