Muwatta Malik #1866
Hair
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "When
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
taken on the Night Journey, he saw an evil jinn seeking him with a
torch of fire. Whenever the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, turned, he saw him. Jibril said to him, 'Shall I
teach you some words to say? When you say them, his torch will be put
out and will fall from him.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'Yes, indeed.' Jibril said, 'Say, 'I
seek refuge with the Noble Face of Allah and with the complete words
of Allah which neither the good person nor the corrupt can exceed,
from the evil of what descends from the sky and the evil of what
ascends in it, and from the evil of what is created in the earth and
the evil of what comes out of it, and from the trials of the night and
day, and from the visitations of the night and day, except for one
that knocks with good, O Merciful!" "'

tariqan yatruq bikhayr ya Rahman!
