A man from Aslam tribe said: I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A man from among his Companions came and said: Messenger of Allah! I have been stung last night, and I could not sleep till morning. He asked: What was that? He replied: A scorpion. He said: Oh, had you said in the evening: "I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created," nothing would have harmed you, Allah willing.  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لُدِغْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ فَلَمْ أَنَمْ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ قَالَ مَاذَا قَالَ عَقْرَبٌ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ تَضُرَّكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ  

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 ﷺ said to him, "For what reason?" He said, "A scorpion bit me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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." Audhu bi kalimati'llahi't-tammati min sharri ma khalaq .  

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ فَقَالَ لَدَغَتْنِي عَقْرَبٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ تَضُرَّكَ  

Malik related to me from a reliable source of his from Yaqub ibn Abdullah al-Ashajj from Bushr ibn Said from Sad ibn Abi Waqqas from Khawla bint Hakim that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever dismounts to rest in a place should say, 'I seek refuge with the complete words of Allah from the evil of what he created,' (audhu bi kalimati-llahi at-tammati min sharri ma khalaqa), and nothing will harm him until he remounts."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ نَزَلَ مَنْزِلاً فَلْيَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَضُرَّهُ شَىْءٌ حَتَّى يَرْتَحِلَ  

[Machine] "I did not sleep tonight because a scorpion stung me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If you had said in the evening, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created,' it would not have harmed you.'"  

مَا نِمْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ لَدَغَتْنِي عَقْرَبٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَا لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَأَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to a man, "If you say in the evening, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created,' no scorpion will harm you until the morning."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِرَجُلٍ لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ كُلِّهِنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ عَقْرَبٌ حَتَّى تُصْبِحَ  

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, yesterday I was bitten by a scorpion." He said, "If you had said in the evening: 'A'udhu billahi minash shaytanir rajeem (I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan) and Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful), it would not have harmed you."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَقِيتُ مِنْ عَقْرَبٍ لَدَغَتْنِي الْبَارِحَةَ ‍‍ فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, if you were to say, when you enter the evening, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, [then] nothing would harm you.'"  

النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ مَا ضَرَّكَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever enters a house and says, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, nothing will harm him in that house until he leaves it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ نَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا فَقَالَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَنْزِلِ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يَرْتَحِلَ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one of you enters a house and says, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created,' nothing from that house will harm him until he leaves."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَنْزِلِ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يَرْتَحِلَ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Last night, I was stung by a scorpion." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you had said in the evening, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil He has created,' it would not have harmed you."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا لَقِيتُ مِنْ عَقْرَبٍ لَدَغَتْنِي الْبَارِحَةَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يَضُرُّكَ  

[Machine] "Who is Allah's Messenger ﷺ ?", he asked. He replied, "A scorpion stung me." He said, "Indeed, if you say when you enter the evening, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, nothing will harm you, if Allah wills."  

لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ؟» قَالَ لَدَغَتْنِي عَقْرَبٌ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يَضُرُّكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ شَيْءٌ  

"أمَّا إنَّكَ لو قُلتَ- حين أَمْسَيتَ: أعوذ بكلمات اللهِ التَّامَّات من شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ لم تَضُرَّكَ".  

"أما إنَّك لو قُلت حين أمسيت: أعوذُ بِكلماتِ اللهِ التامَّاتِ كُلّهَا من شرِّ ما خلق، لم يَضُرَّكَ شيءٌ حتى تُصْبِح".  

"أما إِنَّهُ لو قَال حين أمْسَى: أعوذُ بكلماتِ الله التَّامّات من شرِّ ما خلق ما ضرَّه لَدْغُ عقربٍ حتَّى يصبحَ" .  

"أما إِنَّه لو قال حين أمْسَى: أعوذُ بكَلِمَاتِ الله التَّامَّاتِ من شرِّ ما خلق ثلاثًا لم يَضُرَّه".  

"مَنْ قَال حينَ يُمْسِي ثَلاثَ مَرَّات: أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ الله التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلقَ، لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ لَدْغَةُ حُمَةِ تِلكَ اللَّيلَةَ".
