اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظَلَّتْ، وَرَبَّ الأَرَضِينَ وَمَا أَقَلَّتْ، وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَمَا أَضَلَّتْ، كُنْ لِي جَارًا مِنْ شَرِّ خَلْقِكَ كُلِّهِمْ جَمِيعًا أَنْ يَفْرُطَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَوْ أَنْ يَطْغَى، عَزَّ جَارُكَ، وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ، وَلا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ.
O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and what they have overshadowed, Lord of the earths and what they have held, Lord of the devils and what they have misled, be my protector from the evil of all Your creation, lest any of them should assault me or be insolent towards me. Mighty is Your protection, and blessed is Your name, and there is no god but You.
Allahumma Rabba as-samawati as-sab'i wa ma azallat, wa Rabba al-ardina wa ma aqallat, wa Rabba ash-shayateeni wa ma adallat, kun li jaran min sharri khalqika kullihim jamee'an an yafruta 'alayya ahadun minhum aw an yatgha, 'azza jaru-ka, wa tabaraka ismu-ka, wa la ilaha ghayru-ka.

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: If one of you wants to ask Allah for something, he should start by praising Allah and glorifying Him, then he should say the Tashahhud, then he should say: O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and what they have overshadowed, Lord of the earths and what they have held, Lord of the devils and what they have misled, be my protector from the evil of all Your creation, lest any of them should assault me or be insolent towards me. Mighty is Your protection, and blessed is Your name, and there is no god but You. Then he should ask for what he wants. Sahih Muslim 2708
