Good deed #432 – Supplicate when leaving home

Anas (RadhiAllahu ‘anhu) reported,

Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said,

“Whoever says (upon leaving his house):

 

`Bismillahi, tawakkaltu `alallahi,
wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah

(In the Name of Allah, I have placed my trust in Allah, there is no might and no power except by Allah),’

it will be said to him: ‘You are guided, defended and protected.’ The devil will go far away from him”

 

 

A Muslim should say this du’aa :

Bismillaahi, tawakkaltu ‘alallaahi, wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata ‘ illaa billaah. (in the name of Allah, I put my trust in Allah, Whatever Allah wishes will be; there is no strength except from Allah) so he gets protected, secured, guarded and the devil steps away from him)

[Aboo Dawood, The Book of Good Manners, Hadith 5095; At-Tirmidhee, The Book of Supplication, Hadith 3426]
