Musnad Ahmad 16573

Translation

✧ O Messenger of God, I feel loneliness. He said: "When you go to bed, say: 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of God from His wrath and His punishment, from the evil of His servants, from the whisperings of the devils, and from their coming to me.' Then it will not harm you, and it is more likely that they will not approach you."
