Remembrance 2 from Chapter 8

Bismi-llāh, tawakkaltu ‘ala-llāh, lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāh.

And we relate from the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd, at-Tirmidhī, an-Nasā’ī and others from Anas who reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever says [when leaving his house]: In the name of Allah, I depend on Allah, there is no power and no strength except by Allah, will be told: ‘You have been provided for, you have been protected, and you have been guided’, and Shayṭān will withdraw from him.” ^[2].According to at-Tirmidhī, this hadith is ḥasan. Abū Dāwūd adds in his narration: “He says, i.e. the Shayṭān says to another Shayṭān, ‘How is it for you if a man has been guided, sufficed and protected?’”
