5067. It was narrated from 'Amr bin 'Ašim, from Abū Hurairah that Abū Bakr Aš-Šiddīq said: "O Messenger of Allāh, teach me some words that I may say in the morning and in the evening." He said: "Say: 'Allāhumma fāṭiras-samāwāti wal-arḍi, 'ālimal-ghaibi wash-shahādati, rabba kulli shai'in wa malīkahu, ashhadu an lā ilāha illā anta, a'ūduhu bika min sharri nafsi wa sharrish-shaīṭāni wa shirkih (O Allāh, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Lord and Sovereign of all things, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but You, I seek refuge with You from the evil of myself, and the evil of the Shaitān and his Shirk).'" He said: "Say them in the morning and in the evening, and when you go to your bed." (Ṣaḥīh)
