Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When a person goes out of his house and says: 'Bismillah, tawakkaltu 'alal-lah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.' It will be said to him: 'You are guided, you are taken care of, and you are defended.' So the devil moves away from him. And another devil says to him: 'How can you deal with a man who has been guided, taken care of, and defended?'
