حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنْ المِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : إِذَا أَتَيْتَ سُلْطَانًا مَهِيبًا ، تَخَافُ أَنْ يَسْطُوَ بِكَ ، فَقُلِ : ”اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اللَّهُ أَعَزُّ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ جَمِيعًا ، اللَّهُ أَعَزُّ مِمَّا أَخَافُ وَأَحْذَرُ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ ، الْمُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعَ أَنْ يَقَعْنَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ إِلا بِإِذْنِهِ ، مِنْ شَرِّ عَبْدِكَ فُلانٍ ، وَجُنُودِهِ وَأَتْبَاعِهِ وَأَشْيَاعِهِ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالإِنْسِ ، اللَّهُمَّ كُنْ لِي جَارًا مِنْ شَرِّهِمْ ، جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ ، وَعَزَّ جَارُكَ ، وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ ، وَلا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ“، ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that he said: When you go to a king whom people fear, and you are afraid that he may oppress you, then recite this supplication: "Allah is the Greatest. Allah is mightier than all creation. Allah is even mightier and more powerful than the one whom I fear and dread. I seek refuge with the One besides whom there is no deity, Who holds back the seven heavens from falling upon the earth except by His permission (and if He wills, they will fall), from the evil of Your such-and-such servant, his group, his companions, and his parties, whether they are from among the jinn or mankind. O Allah! Make me a means of protection against their evil. Great is Your praise, and whoever seeks refuge with You is honored, and Your blessed Name is very blessed, and there is no deity except You." Recite this supplication three times.
