Prevent from being stuck by sudden affliction
1) ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say:
“Whoever says ‘Bismillah illadhi la yadurru ma‘a ismihi shay-un fi’l-ardi wa la fi’l-samai wa huwa al-sami‘ ul-‘alim (In the name of Allah with Whose name nothing can harm on earth or in heaven, and He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing)’, three times, will not be stricken with a sudden affliction until morning comes, and whoever says them when morning comes will not be stricken with a sudden affliction until evening comes.” Narrated by Abu Dawud (5088). Also narrated by at-Tirmidhi. 2) Also narrated by at-Tirmidhi, who classed it as sahih, as follows:
“There is no one who says in the morning of every day and the evening of every night ‘Bismillah illadhi la yadurru ma‘a ismihi shay-un fi’l-ardi wa la fi’l-samai wa huwa al-sami‘ ul-‘alim (In the name of Allah with Whose name nothing can harm on earth or in heaven, and He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing)’, three times but nothing will harm him.”
