´Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas narrated:` From Khawlah bint Al Hakim As-Sulamiyyah, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever stops at a stopping place and then says: ‘I seek refuge in Allah’s Perfect Words from the evil of what He has created, (A`ūdhu bi-kalimātillāhit-tāmmāti min sharri mā khalaq)’ nothing shall harm him until he departs from that stopping place of his.”
Hadith Referenceسنن ترمذي / كتاب الدعوات عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم / 3437
´It was narrated from Khawlah bint Hakim that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “If anyone of you, when he stops to camp (while on a journey), says A’udhu bi kalimatil-lahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of that which He has created), then nothing will harm him in that place until he moves on.”
