Hadith 2838

Aban ibn Uthman said: I heard my father say that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There is no servant who says every morning and evening: 'In the name of Allah, with Whose name nothing can harm on earth or in heaven, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing,' three times, except that nothing will harm him." Aban had suffered a stroke, and a man looked at him (in surprise). Aban said, "Why are you looking at me? By Allah, the Hadith is as I narrated to you, but I did not say it that day so that Allah's decree would take its course." [Narrated by Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and Abu Dawud] In another narration: "He will not be afflicted by any sudden calamity until morning, and whoever says it in the morning will not be afflicted by any sudden calamity until evening."
