Context
We relate in the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd, at-Tirmidhī and an-Nasā’ī that Shakal ibn Ḥumayd 
—which is written with a fatḥah on the shīn and the kāf—said: “Messenger of Allah, teach me a du‘ā’.” He replied: “Say: O Allah, I seek Your protection from the evil of my hearing, the evil of my sight, the evil of my tongue, the evil of my heart, and the evil of my sperm [28]..” [29].According to at-Tirmidhī, this is a ḥasan hadith.

[29] Abū Dāwūd (1551), at-Tirmidhī (3487), an-Nasā’ī (8/259–260), and al-Ḥākim (1/533), who states that this hadith is ṣaḥīḥ ; adh-Dhahabī agrees.
