Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, 'When a person goes out of his house saying: Bismillah, tawakkaltu 'alallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. (In the name of Allah, I rely on Allah. There is no might nor power except with Allah.) it is said to him: 'You have been sufficed, protected and guided.' So the devils turn away from him. One of the devils says: 'How can you get to a man whom he has been sufficed, protected and guided?'
