3388. Abān bin ‘Uthmān said: “I heard ‘Uthmān bin ‘Affan [may Allāh be pleased with him] saying: ‘The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “There is no worshipper who says, in the morning of every day, and the evening of every night: ‘In the Name of Allāh, Who with His Name, nothing in the earth or the heavens can cause harm, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing (Bismillāh, Alladhī Lā Yadurru Ma’ Ismihi Shai’un Fil-Ardi Wa Lā Fis-Samā’, Wa Huwas-Sami’ul-‘Alīm)’—three times, (except that) nothing shall harm him.”
And Abān had been stricken with a type of semi-paralysis, so a man began to look at him, so Abān said to him, “What are you looking at? Indeed the Hadīth is as I reported it to you, but I did not say it one day, so Allāh brought about His decree upon me.” (Hasan)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb Šahīh.

Commentary
For everyone at the end of night dawn appears, and with the end of the day night comes again, so the laps of life are wrapped up one by one. Therefore, it is necessary that according to the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ everyone
should renew his relationship with his Creator. This relationship between a slave and his Master can be strengthened by praising Him, confessing one's faults and shortcomings, by asking for His mercy and humbling oneself before Him.
