Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1204
حَدَّثَنَا خَطَّابُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ الْحُبْرَانِيِّ: أَتَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: حَدِّثْنَا بِمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَأَلْقَى إِلَيَّ صَحِيفَةً فَقَالَ: هَذَا مَا كَتَبَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَظَرْتُ فِيهَا، فَإِذَا فِيهَا: إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلِّمْنِي مَا أَقُولُ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتُ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتُ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، قُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَلِيكَهُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي، وَشَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشِرْكِهِ، وَأَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سُوءًا أَوْ أَجُرُّهُ إِلَى مُسْلِمٍ.

Khattab ibn ‘Uthman related to us: Isma‘il related to us, from Muhammad ibn Ziyad, from Abu Rashid al-Hubrani: I went to ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr and said to him, ‘Tell us what you heard from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.’ He handed me a written sheet and said, ‘This is what the Prophet wrote for me.’ I looked in it and found: Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, asked the Prophet, ‘Messenger of Allah, teach me what to say in the morning and evening.’ He replied, ‘Abu Bakr, say: O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, Lord and Sovereign of all things, I seek refuge in You from the evil of myself, from the evil of Satan and his shirk, and from committing evil against myself or bringing it upon a Muslim.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The hadith quotes a written sheet containing an earlier exchange between Abu Bakr and the Prophet; the nested quotation structure is preserved.
عَمْرٍو
The English witness reads ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar, while the Arabic clearly has ibn ‘Amr.
Should the Arabic reading ibn ‘Amr be retained against the divergent English witness?
شِرْكِهِ
The term شركه may denote Satan’s association or his prompting others to associate partners with God.
How should شركه be rendered in this protective supplication?
