Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'When a man leaves his house, he says: Bismillahi, tawakkaltu 'alallahi, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. Then it is said to him: 'You have been guided, you have been sufficed, and you have been protected.' So the devils turn away from him. One of the devils says: 'How can you get to a man whom he has been guided, he has been sufficed, and he has been protected?'
