Source & Authentication
Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to seek refuge in Allah from the evil of what the creation has created. He would say: 'O Allah, we place You before them and we seek refuge in You from their evil.' This hadith is about seeking refuge from any potential harm or evil from people or situations. In the context of a driving test, it can be interpreted as seeking refuge from any untoward incident or the potential for failure due to external factors or one's own anxieties.
