Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah 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, and there is no might nor power except with Allah), it is said to him: 'You have been guided, you have been sufficed, and you have been protected.' So the devil stays away from him, and another devil says to him: 'How can you deal with a man who has been guided, sufficed, and protected?'"
