Home Hadith Hadith 35605
Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his
father from Abu Hurayra that a man of the Aslam tribe said, "I did not
sleep last night." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said to him, "For what reason?" He said, "A scorpion
bit me." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Had you said in the evening, 'I seek refuge with the
complete words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, 'it
would not have happened."
Muwatta Malik Book 51, Hadith 11

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "When
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
taken on the Night Journey, he saw an evil jinn seeking him with a
torch of fire. Whenever the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, turned, he saw him. Jibril said to him, 'Shall I
teach you some words to say? When you say them, his torch will be put
out and will fall from him.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'Yes, indeed.' Jibril said, 'Say, 'I
seek refuge with the Noble Face of Allah and with the complete words
of Allah which neither the good person nor the corrupt can exceed,
from the evil of what descends from the sky and the evil of what
ascends in it, and from the evil of what is created in the earth and
the evil of what comes out of it, and from the trials of the night and
day, and from the visitations of the night and day, except for one
that knocks with good, O Merciful!" "'

Yahya related to me from Malik from Summayy, the mawla of Abu
Bakr from al-Qa'qa ibn Hakim that Kab al-Ahbar said, "Had it not been
for some words which I said, the jews would have made me into a
donkey." Someone asked him what they were. He said, "I seek refuge
with the immense Face of Allah - there is nothing greater than it -
and with the complete words of Allah which neither the good person nor
the corrupt can exceed and with all the most beautiful names of Allah,
what I know of them and what I do not know, from the evil of what He
has created and originated and multiplied."
