حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَاصِمٍ الثَّقَفِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مُرْنِي بِشَيْءٍ أَقُولُهُ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتُ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتُ ، قَالَ :قُلْ : اللَّهُمَّ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَلِيكَهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشِرْكِهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْهُ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ وَإِذَا أَخَذْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, said:` “Abu Bakr said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, command me with something that I may say when I reach morning and evening.’ He said: ‘Say: “O Allah Knower of the Unseen and the Seen, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Lord of everything and its Possessor, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except You, I seek refuge from You from the evil of my soul and from the evil of Shaitan and his Shirk (Allāhumma `ālimal-ghaibi wash-shahādati fāṭiras-samāwāti wal-arḍ, rabba kulli shai’in wa malīkahu, ash-hadu an lā ilāha illā anta, a`ūdhu bika min sharri nafsī wa min sharrish-shaiṭāni washirkihi).’” He said: ‘Say it when you reach morning, and evening, and when you go to bed.’”

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is recommended (mustahabb) that a person recite this blessed supplication in the morning, evening, and at the time of going to sleep at night.
➋
Even a great person like Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (radi Allahu anhu) is in need of acquiring knowledge of Allah’s remembrance (dhikr) in such ordinary acts from the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and his revelation.
How then can it be justified that some people, according to their own desires, have invented lengthy litanies and compilations of praise, salutations, and blessings, thereby depriving themselves and their followers of the virtue and reward of following the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)?
Moreover, the corruption of creed and action that results from this is even greater.
Rather, a person of faith should always be eager to seek guidance from the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in every action.
➌
No matter how high a person’s rank in knowledge and virtue, he needs to be all the more cautious to remain safe from the mischief of his own soul and the whisperings of Satan.
And this is not possible except by Allah’s grace.
➍
In one narration, the last word of this supplication, “shirkihi,” is reported as “sharaki” as well, meaning both the letter “sheen” and “raa” have a fatha (zabar) on them. Thus, the meaning will be:
“I seek Your protection from the snares and traps of Satan.”
