وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَقِيتُ مِنْ عَقْرَبٍ لَدَغَتْنِي الْبَارِحَةَ قَالَ: " أَمَا لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ: أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خلق لم تَضُرك ". رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Translation
Abu Hurayrah reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, “O Messenger of Allah, what a distress I suffered from a scorpion that stung me last night!” He said, “If you had said in the evening, ‘I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created,’ it would not have harmed you.” Reported by Muslim. Graded Sahih by al-Albani.
