Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, 'When a person leaves his house and says: 'Bismillah, tawakkaltu 'alallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (In the name of Allah, I have relied upon Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah), it is said to him: 'You are guided, defended and protected.' And the devil is driven away from him.' Then one of the devils says: 'How can you get to a man whom he (Allah) has guided, defended and protected?' — Sunan Abi Dawud 5095, Sahih Muslim 134
