A‘ūdhu bi-llāhi-s-Samī‘i-l-‘Alīmi mina-sh-Shayṭāni-r-rajīm.
Context
We relate in the books of at-Tirmidhī and Ibn as-Sunnī with an isnād that has weakness in it, from Maqāl ibn Yasār who reported that the Messenger of Allah
said: “If anyone says thrice when he wakes up: I seek protection in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing from Shayṭān the rejected, and then recites three verses from Sūrat al-Ḥashr, Allah will appoint seventy thousand angels to pray for him until the evening. If he dies that day, he will die as a shahīd [31].. Whoever says it in the evening will also have that status [should he die].”

[31] At-Tirmidhī (2923) states that this hadith is gharīb ; we only know of it by this route (wajh), Ibn as-Sunnī (79), ad-Dārimī (2/458), and Aḥmad (5/26). The chain of this hadith contains Khālid ibn Tahmān, whom al-Mundhirī describes as a truthful Shī‘ī; his transmission was declared to be weak by Ibn Ma‘īn, but is regarded as trustworthy by Abū Ḥātim. Ibn Ḥajar states that this hadith is gharīb (177).
