حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ، عَنْ
أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ
عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقُولُ فِي صَبَاحِ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَمَسَاءِ كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ شَيْءٌ " ، وَكَانَ أَبَانُ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ طَرَفُ فَالِجٍ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبَانُ : مَا تَنْظُرُ أَمَا إِنَّ الْحَدِيثَ كَمَا حَدَّثْتُكَ وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَقُلْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِيُمْضِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ قَدَرَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ .
´Aban bin `Uthman said:` “I heard `Uthman bin `Affan (ra) saying: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There is no worshiper who says, in the morning of every day, and the evening of every night: ‘In the Name of Allah, who with His Name, nothing in the earth or the heavens can cause harm, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing (Bismillāh, alladhi lā yaḍurru ma`a ismihi shai'un fil-arḍi wa lā fis-samā', wa huwas-Samī`ul `Alīm)’ – three times, (except that) nothing shall harm him.” And Aban had been stricken with a type of semi-paralysis, so a man began to look at him, so Aban said to him, “What are you looking at? Indeed the Hadith is as I reported it to you, but I did not say it one day, so Allah brought about His decree upon me.”

Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Benefit and harm are in the hands of Allah alone. Therefore, it is through the blessing of His pure name that one seeks His protection. He is aware of the condition of everyone, and He is also capable of hearing their supplications.
➋ In order to seek protection from the evil of creation, especially from the plots of enemies, one should recite these prescribed (masnun) supplications instead of self-invented litanies.
➌ Along with having hope in Allah, one should also maintain fear of Him.
