Summary
This supplication comes from a hadith narrated by Uthman bin Affan RA and recorded by Abu Daud, al-Tirmizi, Ibn Majah and Ahmad. The author grades the hadith as hasan, and the supplication may be practised daily to be protected from calamities, epidemic diseases and hardship. It seeks protection through the name of Allah, with which nothing on earth or in heaven can cause harm, and affirms that Allah is the All-Hearing and All-Knowing. It is recited three times in the morning and in the evening.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, kami berpandangan bahawa hadith ini adalah hasan disebabkan di dalam sanad terdapat seorang perawi bernama Abi al-Zinad yang mana namanya adalah Abd al-Rahman
