Muwatta Malik #1867
Hair
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ أَسْلَمَ قَالَ مَا نِمْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ . فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ " . فَقَالَ لَدَغَتْنِي عَقْرَبٌ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ . لَمْ تَضُرَّكَ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his
father from Abu Hurayra that a man of the Aslam tribe said, "I did not
sleep last night." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said to him, "For what reason?" He said, "A scorpion
bit me." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Had you said in the evening, 'I seek refuge with the
complete words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, 'it
would not have happened."
