Source & Authentication
Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'When a man goes out of his house and says: Bismillahi, tawakkaltu 'alallahi, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. (In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah. There is no might nor power except with Allah), it will be said to him: 'You have been guided, defended and your need has been sufficed.' So the devil will not approach him and another devil will say to him: 'How can you get to a man whom he has been guided, defended and sufficed?'
