Then He said, ‘Say’ but I didn’t say anything. Then He said, ‘Say’ but again I didn’t say anything. Then He said, ‘Say’ So, I said, ‘What should I say?’ He said, ‘Qul Hoo wAllahu Ahad and Muwaidaitain (Surah Falaq and Surah Nas) when you enter the evening and when you wake up in the morning three times and it will protect you from everything.” (Tirmidhi)
