Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, 'When a man goes out of his house saying: 'Bismillahi, tawakkaltu 'alallahi, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.' It is said to him: 'You have been sufficed, defended, and guided.' So the devil turns away from him.' Then one of the men said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What about when one of us leaves for a journey?' He said: 'When one of you leaves for a journey, the devils accompanying him are too many for him, but the angels descend with him and say: 'Take down (your requests),' and in another narration: 'He has been sufficed, defended, and guided,' and the devils turn away from him.'
