Abu Bakr al-Siddiq ᴿᴬ said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, instruct me with words that I should say when I enter the morning and when I enter the evening. He said: "Say:

(O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Lord of everything and its Sovereign, I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of myself and from the evil of Satan and his shirk.)"

He said: "Say it when you enter the morning, when you enter the evening, and when you go to your bed."

قال قال أبو بكر رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يا رسول الله مرني بشيء أقوله إذا أصبحت وإذا أمسيت فقال قل اللهم عالم الغيب والشهادة فاطر السماوات والأرض رب كل شيء ومليكه أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت أعوذ بك من شر نفسي وشر الشيطان وشركه قله إذا أصبحت وإذا أمسيت وإذا أخذت مضجعك

"يَا أَبَا بَكْر: قُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السمواتِ والأرْضِ، عالِمَ الغيْب والشهادةِ، لا إلهَ إِلَّا أنْتَ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شئٍ ومليكَه، أَعوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نفِسى، ومِنْ شرِّ الشيطانِ وشِرْكِهِ، وَأَنْ أَقْتَرِف عَلَى نَفِسى سُوءًا أَوْ أَجُرَّهُ إلى مُسْلِمٍ".

"عن أبى بكر قال: أَمَرَنِى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ أَنْ أَقُولَ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتُ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتُ، وَإِذَا أَخَذْتُ مَضْجَعِى مِنَ اللَّيْلِ: اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَواتِ وَالأَرْضِ، عَالِم الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شىْءٍ وَمَلِيكُهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِى وَشَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشَرَكِهِ، وَأَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ عَلَى نَفْسِى سُوءًا أَوْ أَجُرَّهُ إِلَى مُسْلِمٍ".
