وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ
سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَسْلَمَ، قَالَ : مَا نِمْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ ؟ " فَقَالَ : لَدَغَتْنِي عَقْرَبٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمَا إِنَّكَ
لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ : أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ تَضُرَّكَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from the tribe of Aslam said: "I did not sleep at night." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Why, for what reason?" He replied: "A scorpion stung me." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you had said this in the evening «أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللّٰهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ» that is: I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, then the scorpion would not have harmed you."
