Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with them both): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No servant says Bismillahilladhi la yadhurru ma'asmihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa huwas-Samee'ul-Aleem, three times every morning, but that angel will protect him until the evening. And no servant says it three times every evening, but that Allah will protect him until the morning.'
