عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ : أَنَّهُ أَصَابَهُ أَرَقٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ نِمْتَ ؟ قُلِ : اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظَلَّتْ ، وَرَبَّ الْأَرَضِينَ وَمَا أَقَلَّتْ ، وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَمَا أَضَلَّتْ ، كُنْ لِي جَارًا مِنْ شَرِّ خَلْقِكَ أَجْمَعِينَ ، أَنْ يَفْرُطَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ ، أَوْ يَطْغَى ، عَزَّ جَارُكَ ، وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ إِلَّا أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَابِطٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ .

Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he was suffering from sleeplessness, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not teach you words which, when you say them, you will fall asleep? Recite:
'Allahumma rabbas-samawatis-sab'i wa ma azallat, wa rabbal-aradina wa ma aqallat, wa rabbash-shayatini wa ma adallat, kun li jaran min sharri khalqika ajma'in, an yafruta 'alayya ahadun minhum aw yatgha, 'azza jaruka, wa tabaraka ismuk' (O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and whatever they shade, Lord of the earths and whatever they carry, Lord of the devils and whomever they lead astray: be my Protector from the evil of all Your creation, lest any one of them act excessively against me or transgress (that is, keep me safe from their transgression and excess). Mighty is the one You protect, and blessed is Your name.)"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except that Abd al-Rahman bin Sabit did not hear from Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him).
'Allahumma rabbas-samawatis-sab'i wa ma azallat, wa rabbal-aradina wa ma aqallat, wa rabbash-shayatini wa ma adallat, kun li jaran min sharri khalqika ajma'in, an yafruta 'alayya ahadun minhum aw yatgha, 'azza jaruka, wa tabaraka ismuk' (O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and whatever they shade, Lord of the earths and whatever they carry, Lord of the devils and whomever they lead astray: be my Protector from the evil of all Your creation, lest any one of them act excessively against me or transgress (that is, keep me safe from their transgression and excess). Mighty is the one You protect, and blessed is Your name.)"

وَرَوَاهُ فِي الْكَبِيرِ بِسَنَدٍ ضَعِيفٍ بِنَحْوِهِ ، وَقَالَ : " كُنْ لِي جَارًا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ أَنْ يَفْرُطَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ ، وَأَنْ لَا يُؤْذِيَنِي ، عَزَّ جَارُكَ ، وَجَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ " .
Al-Tabarani recorded this report in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir with a weak chain in similar words, but he recorded these words:
'Kun li jaran min jami'il-jinni wal-ins, an yafruta 'alayya ahadun minhum, wa an la yu'dhiyani, 'azza jaruka, wa jalla thana'uka, wa la ilaha ghayruk' (Be my Protector from all the jinn and mankind, lest any one of them act excessively against me or cause me any harm. Your protection is mighty, Your praise is exalted, and there is no god other than You.)
'Kun li jaran min jami'il-jinni wal-ins, an yafruta 'alayya ahadun minhum, wa an la yu'dhiyani, 'azza jaruka, wa jalla thana'uka, wa la ilaha ghayruk' (Be my Protector from all the jinn and mankind, lest any one of them act excessively against me or cause me any harm. Your protection is mighty, Your praise is exalted, and there is no god other than You.)
وَعَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَفْزَعُ بِاللَّيْلِ فَآخُذُ سَيَفِي فَلَا أَلْقَى شَيْئًا إِلَّا ضَرَبْتُهُ بِسَيْفِي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ عَلَّمَنِي الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ " . فَقُلْتُ : بَلَى . قَالَ : " قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ ، مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ " . فَقَالَهَا فَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ الضَّرِيرُ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ ، وَلَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .

Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I used to wake up at night in fright, take hold of my sword, and strike with the sword whatever came before me. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not teach you the words which the Trustworthy Spirit (Ruh al-Amin) taught me?" I said: "Yes, indeed!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite:
'A'udhu bi-kalimatillahit-tammah allati la yujawizuhunna barrun wa la fajir, min sharri ma yanzilu min as-sama'i wa ma ya'ruju fiha, wa min sharri fitan al-layli wan-nahar, wa min kulli tariqin illa tariqan yatruqu bi-khayr, ya Rahman' (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah, which no righteous or wicked person can go beyond, from the evil of whatever descends from the sky and whatever ascends to it, from the evil of the trials of the night and the day, and from everything that comes by night, except one who comes bringing good, O Most Merciful!)"
When Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) began reciting these words, his distress went away.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Zakariyya bin Yahya bin Ayyub al-Darir al-Mada'ini, whom I do not know; the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).

وَعَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ : أَنَّهُ شَكَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : إِنِّي أَجِدُ فَزَعًا بِاللَّيْلِ ، فَقَالَ : "أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ عَلَّمَنِيهِنَّ جِبْرِيلُ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ - وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ عِفْرِيتًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ يَكِيدُنِي ، فَقَالَ : أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ ، مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَفِتَنِ النَّهَارِ ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ طَوَارِقِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ " .

Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: "I feel fear at night." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not teach you words which Jibril taught me? He stated that an 'ifrit from among the jinn was plotting against me, and he recited:
'A'udhu bi-kalimatillahit-tammat allati la yujawizuhunna barrun wa la fajir, min sharri ma yanzilu min as-sama'i wa ma ya'ruju fiha, wa min sharri ma dhara'a fil-ardi wa ma yakhruju minha, wa min sharri fitan al-layli wa fitan an-nahar, wa min sharri tawariq al-layli wan-nahar, illa tariqan yatruqu bi-khayr, ya Rahman' (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah, which no righteous or wicked person can go beyond, from the evil of whatever descends from the sky and whatever ascends to it, from the evil of whatever He has spread in the earth and whatever comes out of it, from the evil of the trials of the night and the trials of the day, and from those that come by night and by day, except one who comes bringing good, O Most Merciful!)"
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains al-Musayyab bin Wadih, whom more than one scholar declared thiqah (trustworthy) and a group declared da'if (weak); the same applies to al-Hasan bin Ali al-Ma'mari; the remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.

وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ حَدَّثَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنْ أَهَاوِيلَ يَرَاهَا بِاللَّيْلِ ، حَالَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا خَالِدُ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ تَقُولُهُنَّ لَا تَقُولُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ حَتَّى يُذْهِبَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ عَنْكَ ؟ " . قَالَ : بَلَى . يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ، فَإِنَّمَا شَكَوْتُ هَذَا إِلَيْكَ رَجَاءَ هَذَا مِنْكَ ، قَالَ : " قُلْ : أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ ، وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ ، وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ " .
قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ إِلَّا لَيَالِيَ [ يَسِيرَةً ] حَتَّى جَاءَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ، وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَتْمَمْتُ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي عَلَّمْتَنِي ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنِّي مَا كُنْتُ أَجِدُ ، مَا أُبَالِي لَوْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَسَدٍ فِي حَبْسَتِهِ بِلَيْلٍ .

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the frightening dreams he used to see at night, and those dreams would come between him and the (voluntary) night prayer. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Khalid bin al-Walid, shall I not teach you words which you should recite? If you recite them three times, Allah Almighty will remove this thing from you." Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes, indeed! O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, I complained of this to you only in the hope that I would find some solution for it from you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite:
'A'udhu bi-kalimatillahit-tammah min ghadabihi wa 'iqabih, wa sharri 'ibadih, wa min hamazatish-shayatini wa an yahdurun' (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger and His punishment, from the evil of His servants, and from the whisperings of the devils and from their coming to me.)"
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: After a few days had passed, Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: "O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you! By the One who sent you with the truth, I had not yet recited the words you taught me three times when Allah Almighty removed from me what I used to experience. Now I would not even care if I entered a lion's den at night."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains al-Hakam bin Abdullah al-Ayli, who is matruk (abandoned).

وَعَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُنَيْشٍ التَّمِيمِيِّ - وَكَانَ كَبِيرًا : أَدْرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : فَكَيْفَ صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَيْلَةً كَادَتْهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ تَحَدَّرَتْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنَ الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَالشِّعَابِ ، وَفِيهِمْ شَيْطَانٌ بِيَدِهِ شُعْلَةٌ مِنْ نَارٍ ، يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُحْرِقَ بِهَا وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ; فَهَبَطَ إِلَيْهِ جِبْرِيلُ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، قُلْ ، قَالَ : " مَا أَقُولُ ؟ " . قَالَ : قُلْ : أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ، وَذَرَأَ ، وَبَرَأَ ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ يَطْرُقُ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ ، قَالَ : فَطُفِئَتْ نَارُهُمْ ، وَهَزَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى .
Abu al-Tayyah narrates: I asked Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Hunaysh al-Tamimi (may Allah be pleased with him): "Did you live in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He was an elderly man. He replied: "Yes." Abu al-Tayyah asked: "When the devils tried to harm the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), what did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do that night?" He said: "That night the devils came down from various valleys and mountain passes towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Among them was a devil with a flame of fire in his hand, wanting to burn the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with that fire. Then Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) descended, came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'O Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), recite!' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'What shall I recite?' He said: 'Recite:
'A'udhu bi-kalimatillahit-tammah min sharri ma khalaqa wa dhara'a wa bara'a, wa min sharri ma yanzilu min as-sama', wa min sharri ma ya'ruju fiha, wa min sharri fitan al-layli wan-nahar, wa min sharri kulli tariqin yatruqu illa tariqan yatruqu bi-khayr, ya Rahman' (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of everything He has created, made and brought into being, from the evil of whatever descends from the sky, from the evil of whatever ascends to it, from the evil of the trials of the night and the day, and from the evil of everyone who comes by night, except one who comes bringing good, O Most Merciful!)'"
The narrator says: Then the fire of those (devils) was extinguished, and Allah Almighty put them to flight.

In one narration the words are: The narrator says: "They were struck with fear." The narrator Ja'far says: I think (the words in the narration are:) they began to draw back.
Ahmad and Abu Ya'la recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded something similar, in which he says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw them, he became anxious, and Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) came to him (peace and blessings be upon him).
The narrators of one of Ahmad's two chains, the narrators of Abu Ya'la, and the narrators of some of al-Tabarani's chains are the narrators of the Sahih; the same applies to the narrators of al-Tabarani.

وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَيْلَةَ صُرِفَ إِلَيْهِ النَّفَرُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ ، فَأَتَى رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ بِشُعْلَةٍ مِنْ نَارٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ طُفِئَتْ شُعْلَتُهُ ، وَانْكَبَّ لِمَنْخِرِهِ ؟ قُلْ : أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ الْكَرِيمِ ، وَكَلِمَاتِهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ ، مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ ، وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ ، وَبَرَأَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ طَوَارِقِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الصَّغِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ مَنْ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the night when a group of jinn was turned towards him. One of the jinn came towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying a flame of fire, so Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) said: "O Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), shall I not teach you words which, when you recite them, his flame will be extinguished and he will fall on his nostrils? Recite:
'A'udhu bi-wajhillahil-karim, wa kalimatihit-tammat allati la yujawizuhunna barrun wa la fajir, min sharri ma yanzilu min as-sama'i wa ma ya'ruju fiha, wa min sharri ma dhara'a wa bara'a fil-ardi wa ma yakhruju minha, wa min sharri fitan al-layli wan-nahar, wa min sharri tawariq al-layli wan-nahar, illa tariqan yatruqu bi-khayr, ya Rahman' (I seek refuge in the Countenance of Allah, the Most Generous, and in His perfect words, which no righteous or wicked person can go beyond, from the evil of whatever descends from the sky and whatever ascends to it, from the evil of whatever He has made and spread in the earth and whatever comes out of the earth, from the evil of the trials of the night and the day, and from the evil of those who come by night and by day, except one who comes bringing good, O Most Merciful!)"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir, and its chain contains a narrator whom I do not know.

وَعَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ : أَصَابَنِي أَرَقٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ غَارَتِ النُّجُومُ ، وَهَدَأَتِ الْعُيُونُ ، وَأَنْتَ حَيٌّ قَيُّومٌ ، يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ ، أَنِمْ عَيْنِي ، وَأَهْدِئْ لَيْلِي " . فَقُلْتُهَا فَذَهَبَ عَنِّي .

Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was suffering from sleeplessness at night, and I complained about it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "Recite:
'Allahumma gharatin-nujum, wa hada'atil-'uyun, wa anta hayyun qayyum, ya Hayyu ya Qayyum, anim 'ayni, wa ahdi' layli' (O Allah, the stars have set and the eyes have become still, and You are Ever-Living, Self-Subsisting. O Ever-Living, O Self-Subsisting, put my eyes to sleep and make my night calm.)"
The narrator says: I recited this supplication, and that condition of mine went away.
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Amr bin al-Husayn al-Uqayli, who is matruk (abandoned).

وَعَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ : أَنَّ رَجُلًا اشْتَكَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْوَحْشَةَ ، فَقَالَ : " قُلْ : سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ ، رَبِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ [ جَلَّلْتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْعِزَّةِ وَالْجَبَرُوتِ " فَقَالَهَا الرَّجُلُ فَأَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْهُ الْوَحْشَةَ ] " .

Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of a feeling of loneliness and dread, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite:
'Subhanal-malikil-quddus, rabbil-mala'ikati war-ruh, jallalta as-samawati wal-arda bil-'izzati wal-jabarut' (Free from every imperfection is the One who is the King, the Most Holy; He is the Lord of the angels and of the Trustworthy Spirit (Ruh al-Amin). You have overwhelmed the heavens and the earth with might and power.)"
That man recited these words, and Allah Almighty removed his loneliness and dread.
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Muhammad bin Aban al-Ju'fi, who is da'if (weak).
