Context

We relate in the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd and at-Tirmidhī from ‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb, who reported from his father, who reported from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol used to teach them these words for when they felt fear and terror: “I seek protection in the perfect words of Allah from His wrath and the evil of His servants, and from the promptings of the shayṭāns and from them approaching me.” [2].
