Source & Authentication
Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "When a person 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 will be said to him: 'You have been guided, you have been sufficed, and you have been protected.' So the devil will keep away from him. Another devil will say to him: 'How can you deal with a man who has been guided, sufficed, and protected?' (Sunan Abi Dawud 5095, classified as Sahih by Al-Albani)
