“When one of you becomes frightened during sleep, then let him say: ‘I seek refuge in Allah’s Perfect Words from His anger, His punishment, and the evil of His creatures, from the whisperings of the Shayatin, and that they should come (Aʿūdhu bikalimātillāhit-tāmmati min ghaḍabihī wa ʿiqābihī wa sharri ʿibādih, wa min hamazātish-shayāṭīni wa an yaḥḍurūn).’ For verily, they shall not harm him.” He said: “So ʿAbdullah bin ʿAmr used to teach it to those of his children who attained maturity, and those of them who did not, he would write it on a sheet and then hang it around his neck.”  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا فَزِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي النَّوْمِ فَلْيَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ فَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَضُرَّهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو يُلَقِّنُهَا مَنْ بَلَغَ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ مِنْهُمْ كَتَبَهَا فِي صَكٍّ ثُمَّ عَلَّقَهَا فِي عُنُقِهِ  

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said that he had heard that Khalid ibn al-Walid said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ "I have nightmares." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Say, 'I seek refuge with the complete words of Allah from His anger and His punishment and the evil of His slaves, and from the evil suggestions of the shayatin and from their being present (at death).' " Audhu bi kalimati' llahi't-tammati min ghadabihi wa iqabihi wa sharri ibadihi wa min hamazati' sh-shayatin wa an yahdurun.  

قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي أُرَوَّعُ فِي مَنَامِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to teach us words to say before sleeping out of fear. "In the name of Allah, I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger, punishment, evil slaves, and from the whispers of devils and their presence." Abdullah bin Amr used to teach it to those of his sons who had reached the age of understanding, and he would write it for those who were still young and put it on their necks.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا كَلِمَاتٍ نَقُولُهُنَّ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ بِسْمِ اللهِ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّة مِنْغَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ قَالَ فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو يُعَلِّمُهَا مَنْ بَلَغَ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ أَنْ يَقُولَهَا عِنْدَ نَوْمِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ صَغِيرًا لَا يَعْقِلُ أَنْ يَحْفَظَهَا كَتَبَهَا لَهُ فَعَلَّقَهَا فِي عُنُقِهِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanding with these words of alarm, "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger, His punishment, the evil deeds of His servants, and the whispers of devils, and that they come near." Abdullah bin Umar and those who reached from his children taught them to him, so he recited them in front of his people. And whoever did not reach from them, he wrote them and hung them around his neck.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ «أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَمِنْ عِقَابِهِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونَ» قَالَ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَمَنْ بَلَغَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ عَلَّمَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَهُنَّ عِنْدَ قَوْمِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ مِنْهُمْ كَتَبَهَا فَعَلَّقَهَا فِي عُنُقِهِ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا كَلِمَاتٍ يَقُولُهَا عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ «بِاسْمِ اللهِ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ»
