Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Mak’hool narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah Mukarramah, the jinn met him in such a state that they were throwing flames towards him (peace and blessings be upon him). At this, Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) submitted, “O Muhammad! Seek refuge through these words.” Thus, the jinn were driven away from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited (these words): “I seek refuge, by the perfect words of Allah, which neither the righteous nor the wicked can surpass, from the evil of everything that descends from the sky and ascends to it, and from the evil of everything that is spread in the earth and that emerges from it. And I seek refuge from the evil of the trials of night and day, and from the evil of everything that comes at night except that which comes with goodness. O Most Merciful.”
