(حديث مرفوع) قَالَ
يَعْقُوبُ وَقَالَ
الْقَعْقَاعُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ
ذَكْوَانَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا لَقِيتُ مِنْ عَقْرَبٍ لَدَغَتْنِي الْبَارِحَةَ ، قَالَ : " أَمَا لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ تَضُرَّكَ " ،
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that a person came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: "Allah's Messenger, I was stung by a scorpion during the night. Thereupon he said: Had you recited these words in the evening: "I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allah from the evil of what He created," it would not have done any harm to you.
