[Machine] I said to Abdurrahman ibn Khanbash Al-Tamimi, who was an old man, "Did you meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied, "Yes." I asked, "What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do on the night when the devils were almost upon him?" He said, "Indeed, the devils gathered around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that night, from valleys and passes, and among them was a devil holding a lit torch, intending to burn the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then Jibril descended to him and said, 'O Muhammad, say.' The Prophet asked, 'What should I say?' Jibril replied, 'Say: I seek refuge in the complete words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, and from the evil that He has descended from the sky, and from the evil that ascends into it, and from the evil of the trials of the day and the night, and from the evil of every knock, except a knock that brings good. O Most Merciful.' So their fire was extinguished, and Allah, blessed and exalted is He, defeated them."  

قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ خَنْبَشٍ التَّمِيمِيِّ وَكَانَ كَبِيرًا أَدْرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ كَادَتْهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ تَحَدَّرَتْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَالشِّعَابِ وَفِيهِمْ شَيْطَانٌ بِيَدِهِ شُعْلَةُ نَارٍ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُحْرِقَ بِهَا وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَهَبَطَ إِلَيْهِ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ قَالَ مَا أَقُولُ؟ قَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَذَرَأَ وَبَرَأَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ قَالَ فَطَفِئَتْ نَارُهُمْ وَهَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى  

[Machine] A man asked Abdullah ibn Khunbash, "How did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ deal with the devils when they approached him?" He said, "The devils came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the valleys and descended upon him from the mountains. Among them was a devil with a flame of fire, intending to burn the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He became terrified and frightened. Ja'far ibn Abi Talib said, "I think he was about to say something." Ja'far continued, "But then he hesitated." He said, "Then Jibril came and said, 'O Muhammad, say the following: I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah, which no righteous or wicked person can exceed, from the evil of what He has created, originated, and brought into existence. I seek refuge from the evil that descends from the sky, and from the evil that rises therein. I seek refuge from the evil that is scattered on the earth, and from the evil that emerges from it. I seek refuge from the evil of the trials of the night and day, and from the evil of every creature except for a creature that comes with goodness. O Most Merciful! So, the fire of the devils was extinguished and Allah defeated them."  

سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ خَنْبَشٍ كَيْفَ صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ كَادَتْهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ؟ قَالَ جَاءَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَتَحَدَّرَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ وَفِيهِمْ شَيْطَانٌ مَعَهُ شُعْلَةٌ مِنْ نَارٍ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُحْرِقَ بِهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَرُعِبَ قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ جَعَلَ يَتَأَخَّرُ قَالَ وَجَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ قَالَ مَا أَقُولُ؟ قَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَذَرَأَ وَبَرَأَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ فَطَفِئَتْ نَارُالشَّيَاطِينِ وَهَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ ﷻ  

[Machine] "He complained to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, 'I feel fearful at night.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'Shall I not teach you some words that Jibril (Gabriel), ﷺ , taught me? He claimed that a jinn from the jinn intends to harm me.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'I seek refuge in the complete words of Allah, which no righteous or wicked person can surpass, from the evil of what descends from the sky and what ascends in it, and from the evil of what is scattered on the earth and what comes out of it, and from the evil of the trials of the night and the trials of the day, and from the evil of the night wanderers and day prowlers, except for those who come with goodness. O Merciful One!'"  

أَنَّهُ شَكَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَجِدُ فَزَعًا بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ عَلَّمَنِيهِنَّ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ عِفْرِيتًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ يَكِيدُنِي قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَفِتَنِ النَّهَارِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ طَوَارِقِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَانُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the night of the jinn, while he was with Jibril and I was with him, the Prophet ﷺ began reciting and the Afrit drew closer and got closer. Then Jibril said to the Prophet ﷺ , "Shall I teach you some words that if you say them, the Afrit will fall on his face and his flame will go out?" Say, "I seek refuge in the noble face of Allah and His perfect words from the evil of what descends from the sky and what ascends therein, and from the evil of what is spread in the earth and what comes out of it, and from the trials of the night and the day, and from the evil of those who blow on knots, and from the evil of an envier when he envies, O Rahman (the Most Merciful), then the Afrit fell on his face and his flame went out." Malik Ibn Anas went against him and Al-Harith Ibn Maskeen recited it in a different way. Ibn Al-Qasim reported to me that Malik narrated to us from Yahya Ibn Sa'id, who said, "I was taken on a journey with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I saw a jinn seeking him with a torch of fire. Whenever the Prophet ﷺ turned, he would see him. So Jibril ﷺ said to him and recited the hadith."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ وَهُوَ مَعَ جِبْرِيلَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ وَجَعَلَ الْعِفْرِيتُ يَدْنُو وَيَزْدَادُ قُرْبًا فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ تَقُولُهُنَّ فَيُكَبُّ الْعِفْرِيتُ لِوَجْهِهِ وَتُطْفَأُ شُعْلَتُهُ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِ اللهِ الْكَرِيمِ وَكَلِمَاتِهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ طَوَارِقِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ فَكُبَّ الْعِفْرِيتُ لِوَجْهِهِ وَانْطَفَأَتْ شُعْلَتُهُ [350] خَالَفَهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ 10727 الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ أُسْرِيَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَأَى عِفْرِيتًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ يَطْلُبُهُ بِشُعْلَةٍ مِنْ نَارٍ كُلَّمَا الْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَآهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ  

"أَلا أُعلِّمُكَ كَلمات عَلَّمنيهُنَّ جبريلُ عليه السلام وزعم أَن عِفْرِيتًا من الجنِّ يكيدنِي؟ أعوذ بكلمات اللَّه التامَّات الَّتِى لا يجاوزُهنَّ بَرُّ ولا فاجرٌ من شرِّ ما ينزلُ من السَّماءِ وما يعرجُ فيها، ومن شرِّ ما ذرأَ في الأَرض وما يخرجُ منها، ومن شَرِّ فتن اللَّيلِ وفتن النَّهارِ، ومن شَرِّ طوارق اللَّيل والنَّهارِ إِلا طارقٌ يطرقُ بخير يا رحمنُ".
