1 hadith
Hadith 1022
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates this statement of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him: Whoever recites these words in the evening: "(I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of whatever He has created)," and recites them three times, then no snake (or poisonous thing) will harm him until morning. (The narrator states) Whenever any of his household was bitten (by any poisonous thing), they would say: Had he not recited those words?
