Prophetic Dua for protection from evil
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَقِيتُ مِنْ عَقْرَبٍ لَدَغَتْنِي الْبَارِحَةَ قَالَ: ” أَمَا لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ: أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لم تَضُرك
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira radiAllahu ahu told of a man coming to the Noble Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, what I have suffered from a scorpion which stung me last night!” He ﷺ replied that if he had said in the evening, “I seek refuge in Allah’s perfect words from the evil of what He has created,” it would not have harmed him. -Sahih Muslim
