‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrated: ‘The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:
“There is no servant who recites in the morning of every day and the evening of every night,
*بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّذِيْ لا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلا فِي الْسَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ*
Bismillāh-hilladhi lā yadurru ma’a ismihi shay’un fil-ardi wa lā fis-samā wa huwa as-Samee’ ul-‘Aleem
In the Name of Allāh, with Whose Name nothing on the earth or in the Heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
three times, except that nothing shall harm him.”

Shaykh Abdur-Razzāq al-Badr [may Allāh preserve him] said:
“This is one of the great[est] supplication in which a Muslim should [recite and] maintain every morning and evening, so that he may be protected thereby, by Allāh’s Will, may He be Exalted. Being protected against, strucken by a sudden calamity or disastrous harm or its like.
Al-Imām al-Qurtubi [may Allāh have mercy on him] said concerning this hadeeth: This is an authentic report and its words are true, which have been proven to us by evidence and experience. Ever since I heard it I acted upon it, and nothing harmed me until forsaked reciting it. A scorpion stung me in Madeenah one night, and when I thought about it I realised I had forgotten to seek refuge with Allāh by reciting these words.
