Hadith 3893

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " يُعَلِّمُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ : أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ " وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرٍو يُعَلِّمُهُنَّ مَنْ عَقَلَ مِنْ بَنِيهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَعْقِلْ كَتَبَهُ فَأَعْلَقَهُ عَلَيْهِ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sued to teach them the following words in the case of alarm: I seek refuge in Allah's perfect words from His anger, the evil of His servants, the evil suggestions of the devils and their presence. Abdullah ibn Amr used to teach them to those of his children who had reached puberty, and he wrote them down (on some material) and hung on the child who had not reached puberty.

Benefits and Issues:
Our esteemed researcher has declared this narration weak in terms of its chain of transmission. However, Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah writes regarding this that the supplication (du'a) phrases in this narration are of the level of hasan (good), but the practice of Abdullah radi Allahu anhu—that he used to write it and hang it around the necks of children—is weak.
See (Sunan Abi Dawud). Therefore, it cannot be used as evidence for the permissibility of hanging amulets (ta'widh) around the neck or elsewhere.
