Narrated by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'When a man leaves his house and says: 'Bismillahi walajna, wa bismillahi kharajna, wa 'alallahi Rabbina tawakkalna,' (In the name of Allah we enter, in the name of Allah we leave, and in Allah, our Lord, we place our trust), it is said to him: 'You have been sufficed and protected,' and the Shaitan is kept away from him.'
