وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زُرْعَةَ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ: كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ ثُمَّ شَافَهَنِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مُشَافَهَةً قَالَ:
إِنَّ كَعْبًا ؓ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِيمَا يَقُولُ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ نَجِدُهُ مَكْتُوبًا: إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يُطِيقُ لِعَبْدٍ مِنْ لَدُنْ يُمْسِي حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاسْمِكَ وَكَلِمَتِكَ التَّامَّةِ مِنَ الشَّرِّ فِي السَّامَّةِ وَالْعَامَّةِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ وَكَلِمَتِكَ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تُسْأَلُ وَمِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تُعْطِي، وَخَيْرِ مَا تُخْفِي، وَخَيْرِ مَا تُبْدِي، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ وَكَلِمَتِكَ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يُجَلَّى بِهِ النَّهَارُ، إِنْ كَانَ نَهَارًا، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيْلًا قَالَ: مِنْ شَرِّ مَا دَجَنَ بِهِ اللَّيْلُ

✧ Ka'b ؓ narrated to us that he said, concerning what is found written in the Torah: 'Indeed, Satan cannot bear a servant who, from evening until morning, says: O Allah, I seek refuge in Your name and Your perfect words from evil in the specific and the general, and I ask You by Your name and Your perfect words for the best of what is asked and the best of what You give, and the best of what You conceal and the best of what You reveal. O Allah, I ask You by Your name and Your perfect words from the evil of what the day clears away, if it is day, and if it is night, he says: from the evil of what the night covers.'
