حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ حَيْوَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ لَقِيتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّکَ حَدَّثْتَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ کَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْکَرِيمِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ الْقَدِيمِ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ قَالَ أَقَطْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِکَ قَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ حُفِظَ مِنِّي سَائِرَ الْيَوْمِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 466
Haiwah bin Shuraih reported: I met Uqbah bin Muslim and said to him: it has been reported to me that someone has narrated to you from the prophet ﷺ that when he entered the mosque, he would say: I seek refuge in Allah, the Magnificent, and in His noble face, and in his eternal domain, from the accursed Devil. He asked: is it so much only? I said: Yes. He said: when anyone says so. The devil says: he is protected from me all the day long.
