´It was narrated from Khawlah bint Hakim that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “If anyone of you, when he stops to camp (while on a journey), says A’udhu bi kalimatil-lahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of that which He has created), then nothing will harm him in that place until he moves on.”

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: By "the complete words of Allah" is meant those words which are free from every defect and deficiency, are beneficial and healing, and possess powerful effect. Therefore, some have interpreted this to mean the Qur'an, that I seek refuge in it, and the Qur'an is the speech of Allah and His attribute. It is permissible to seek refuge in His attribute.
