Narrated by Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'When a man says: Bismillahi walajna wa bismillahi kharajna wa 'ala Rabbina tawakkalna (In Allah's name we enter and in Allah's name we leave, and in our Lord we place our trust), then Shaytan says: 'I will not go in and I will not go out from you, nor will I be able to harm you.' This hadith is narrated by Al-Bazzar and At-Tabarani in Al-Awsat. It is also narrated in Sunan Abi Dawud and authenticated as Hasan by Al-Albani.
