Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "When you call on Allah, be definite in your
supplication. None of you should say, 'If You will, give it to me.' No
one can force Allah."
'Uthman said that he heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, say, "A person will not be harmed by anything if he says
every morning and evening 33 times, 'In the Name of Allah by whose Name
nothing in the earth or the heaven is harmed. He is the All-Hearing, the
All-Knowing.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَعَوَّذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَشَرِّ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, used to seek refuge with Allah from the evils of life
and death and the punishment of the grave and the evil of the Dajjal."
