Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Abu Dawud—the Tayalisi—narrated to us: ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi al-Zinad narrated to us, from his father, from Aban ibn ‘Uthman, who said: I heard ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) say that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘There is no servant who says, three times every morning and every evening: “In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing on earth or in heaven can cause harm; He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing,” without anything harming him.’ Aban had suffered a partial paralysis, and a man began staring at him. Aban said to him, ‘Why are you looking at me? The hadith is indeed as I told you, but on that day I did not say it, so Allah’s decree could be carried out upon me.’ This hadith is hasan sahih gharib.
