HizbulBahr English & Transliteration & Commentary and

Spiritual hand & blowing protection movements

The Imam Shadhili said; about the Hizb ul Bahr By God, I did not utter it [the Litany of
the Sea] except as it came from the Prophet of God (s), from whose instruction I
learned it. "Guard it;' he said to me, "for it contains the Ism al-'Adhim-Greatest name
of God:"- It is not recited in any place without security reigning there. If it had been
with the inhabitants of Baghdad, the Tatars would not have taken the city. On his
death bed Imam Shadhili gave Naseeha-counsel to recite his Litany of the Sea (Hizb ul
Bahr) often, and he said, Teach it to your children for the Ism al-'Adhim-Greatest
name of God is in it.

and if the hypocrites and those with doubting hearts say: Allah and His Messenger did
not promise us other than delusion (Surah Ahzab 33:11-12), [Note 2]
[Point.1 Upon reciting shadeedan point with your right index finger (Shahadah
finger) toward the sky ]

to Moses. And You subjugated the fire to Abraham. And You subjugated the mountains
and the iron to David. And You subjugated the wind and the Demons and the Jinns to
Solomon. [Note 3]
[Point.2 At the word wan-surnaa-(and give us support or victory) think in your heart
deeply of the purpose for which this dua (meaning the Hizb ul Bahr) is being read
for, so focus your thoughts and zoom into your hearts your needs to be made
victorious or be given success in a need or task or problem to be solved.]
Wa sakh-khir lana kulla bahrin huwa laka fil ardi was-samaa-i wal mulki wal malakut.

Oh, Allah! Make easy for us our situations/tasks with rest for our hearts and our
bodies; and peace and well-being in our spiritual and worldly lives and be to us our
Companion in our journey and the Guardian of our family. Efface the faces of our
enemy. Freeze them in their places so that they are unable to go or to come against
us. If We willed We would have wiped out their eyes, then they would have raced to
the Way, but how would they have seen? And if We willed, We would have frozen them
in their places, neither could they go forth or could they return (36:66-67).[Note 7a]
[Point.4 Upon reading umurana-Make easy for our affairs/tasks think in your heart
deeply your need and task that you would like to made easy for you, maybe a job
interview, maybe a marriage proposal, or financial purpose, maybe some
troublesome person is causing you issues in life or work, put the object for which
this dua-(meaning the Hizb ul Bahr) is being read for in your heart and think about
it, focus and make niyyah when you say the word 'umurana-Make easy for our
tasks'and simply place that task to be made easy into your heart, or picture it
happening in your heart when you say the word umurana. Know that niyyahintention is energyand has a direction and movement and flow. And niyyah has

a vibration or resonance or echoing and it maintains its momentum by the leve

of intention from our souls and heart and when the words of a niyyah are said they
travel
and
start
to
transform
into
action
]
[Point.5 Upon reciting the word (Wujuhi-faces) closed your right hand into a fist and
shake it up and down to the ground and release if facing ground.
Thus 'efface the faces of our enemy,' efface means to obliterate, to wipe out; do
away with; expunge: to efface or erase one's unhappy memories. to rub out, erase.
And is a methaphor for a man's honour, another way it could be seen as is, 'Wipe
out/destroy the faces or honour of our enemy'. For a dishonoured or disgraced face is
below you and a head with a body is useless and powerless ]

===================================================
Hizb ul Bahr Commentary
[Note 1]
Its said The first line of the Hizbul Bahr will be bring 1,000 army of Angels to your
right side and a 1,000 army of Jinns to your left side.
[Note 2]
These are the 1st Quranic verses that appear in the Hizb ul Bahr taken from Surah
Azhab 33:11-12, below is the beginning of Surah Azhab,they refer to the battle of
Khandaq, and are about how the true believers will be rewarded, the hypocrites
punished.
...O those who believe,(1)* remember Allah's favour to you, when the forces (of the
infidels) came upon you, and We sent upon them a wind, and the forces (of angels)
you did not see. And Allah is watchful of what you do. [9] (Recall) when they came
upon you from above you and from below you, and when the eyes were distracted
and the hearts reached the throats, and you were thinking about Allah all sorts of
thoughts. [10]
truly have the believers been tested and shaken, shaken severely [11] and if the
hypocrites and those with doubting hearts say: Allah and His Messenger did not
promise us other than delusion [12]
and when a group of them said, "O people of Yathrib (Madinah), there is no place for
you to stay; so go back." And a group of them was seeking permission (to leave) from
the prophet, saying, "In fact our homes are vulnerable," while they were not
vulnerable; they wanted nothing but to escape. [13] And if it (Madinah) is entered
(by the enemy, in their presence,) from all its sides and they are asked (to join) the
mischief, they would readily commit it, and would not remain in them (their homes)
but
for
a
short
while (2)* [14]
despite that they had already made a covenant with Allah that they would not turn
their backs; and a covenant with Allah has to be answered for. [15] (3)*
(1)* These verses refer to the battle of Ahzab, also known as 'the battle of Khandaq' in
which different tribes of Arabia, led by the Quraish invaded upon Madinah, and the
Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him defended the city by
digging
a
trench.
(2)* It means that although they are escaping from the battle-field on the pretext
that their homes are not safe, yet if the forces of the enemy invite them to join the
battle against Muslims, after their having entered the city from all sides, they would

easily join them in their mischief against Muslims, and would no more remain in their
homes.
It
shows
that
their
pretext
is
sham.
(3)* That is, everyone who enters into a covenant with Allah, has to answer how he
has
fulfilled
it.
The true believers will be rewarded, the hypocrites punished other verses:
That Allah may reward the true men for their truth, and punish the hypocrites if He
will, or relent toward them (if He will). Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. 33:24
On the day when their faces are turned over in the Fire, they say: Oh, would that we
had
obeyed
Allah
and
had
obeyed
His
messenger! 33:66
So Allah punisheth hypocritical men and hypocritical women, and idolatrous men and
idolatrous women. But Allah pardoneth believing men and believing women, and
Allah
is
ever
Forgiving,
Merciful .
33:73
If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city
do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your
neighbours in it but a little while. Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and
slain with a(fierce) slaughter. (33:60-61, 2:278-279, 9:73, 49:9)
[Note 3]
Shaykh Ahmed Zarruq says; "As for the bringing about effects with this invocation, it is
commensurate with one's aim and aspiration that one has command of it to draw or
repel, intending what is desired when one says 'And subject to us the this sea- sakhkhartal bahra"
It is commensurate-(degree) think about this point deeply, if you want a answered
dua, its about the effectiveness and the result of reading the Hizb ul Bahr, meaning
the amount or degree of ones Niyyah-intention-(see comments above in Point.4 about
Niyyah has direction) andHimmah-yearning put into the reading. This is also the
amount Sidq-sincerity or earnest put into it. Earnest, or seriousness,fixed
determination, importance, eagerness; intentness. So one needs to read it with
Earnestness to receive its secrets and this is true with any Dua or Wird or Award, its
not just the words on the tongue its whose Heart is saying there words and what is the
degree of Need of Help-Madaat or Nasr-Victory from Allah they are hoping for and is
it being done with Sidq-sincerity and one needs to put or pay attention-tawajjuh in
their heart and turn their heart towards Allah through the grace of their Shaykh at the
point when one reads 'wa sakh-khir lana ha-dhal bahr' meaning and 'subject to us this
sea'.
firmly root us and support us and sakh-khartal bahra-subjugate to us this Sea as
You subjugated the Sea to Moses. And You subjugated the fire to Abraham. And You

subjugated the mountains and the iron to David. And You subjugated the wind and
the Demons and the Jinns to Solomon. And subjugate to us every sea of Yours on the
Earth, in the Skies, the Dominions and the Heavenly Realm. And the Sea of this world
and the Sea of the World to come. And subjugate to us everything, Oh! You in Whose
Hand is the dominion over everything.
***Its Interesting how we are asking subjugation or to bring under our complete
control or master over the 5 Elements; Fire,Water, Earth, and Air and Metal. We ask
for complete control over Water (Sea to Moses) We ask for complete control
over Fire (fire to Abraham). We ask for complete control over Metal (mountains and
iron to David) We ask for complete control over Earth (Yours on the Earth) We ask for
complete control over Air (subjugated the wind) and we ask for complete control over
of the Unseen worlds of Jinn (Jinns to Solomon) and the Angels(Heavenly Realm). And
we are asking for complete control over everything in the earth and heveans too from
Allahs Power. And we are asking for Victory-Opening, Forgiveness, Mercy and Provides
in our problems, just look at all the power we are calling on, for help.

Kaaf Haa Yaa 'Ain Saad. - Surah Maryam 19: 1
Firstly, this is from the mutashabihat so Allah (swt) alone, and no one else, knows the
true meaning of it. But nevertheless, the following is mentioned in al-Jami li Ahkaam
al-Quran of Imam al-Qurtubi:
ibn Abbas said concerning Kaaf Haa Yaa Ain Saad: The kaaf is from Kaafin
(Sufficient), thehaa is from Haadin (Guide), the yaa is from Hakeem (Wise), the ain is
from Aleem (All-Knowing), and the saad is from Saadiq (True). ibn Azeez al-Qushairi
mentioned it from ibn Abbas.
Its meaning is: Sufficient (Kaafin) for His creation, a Guide (Haadin) for His slaves,
His Yad is over their hands, Cognizant (Aalimun) of them, Truthful (Saadiqun) in His
promise. al-Thalabi mentioned it from al-Kalbi and al-Suddi and Mujahid and
Dahhak.
And al-Kalbi also said: The kaaf is from Kareem (Noble), Kabeer (Great), and Kaafin
(Sufficient); the haa is from Haadin (Guide); the yaa is from Raheem (Merciful);
the ain is from Aleem (All-Knowing) and Azeem (Supreme); and the saad is from
Saadiq (True): and the meaning is one.
And also from ibn Abbas: It is a name from the Names of Allah (swt). From Ali (ra):
It is a name of Allah, azza wa jall and he used to say: O Kaaf Haa Yaa Ain Saad!
Forgive me.
al-Ghaznawi mentioned it. al-Suddi: It is the greatest name of Allah, which if He is
asked by it, He gives. And if He is called upon by it, He answers.
Also from Jaaliya tu'l Akdaar wa's Sayf u'l Battar of: Mawlana Khalid al-Baghdadi

According to Mawlana Khalid al-Baghdadi, the letters Kaaf, Haa, Yaa, 'Ain, Saad in the
first verse of Surah Maryam refer to the sifaat (attributes) of Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala or of Sayyidina Muhammad, Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam as captured in one of
the salawaat in the kitab as follows:
...Wa bi Fadlillaahumma Salli wa Sallim Wa Baarik

An
episode
from
the
Battle
of
Khandaq
As mentioned the 1st Quranic verses that appear in the Hizb ul Bahr are taken from
SurahAzhab 33:11-12, and they refer to the battle of Khandaq, the next part verse is
over all things You have power(3:26). and this is about an episode from the Battle
of
Khandaq.
The disbelievers of Arabia, the Jews and the Christians all joined in a united front
against Muslims and resolved to attack Madinah and fight a conclusive battle. This
they did, determined to eradicate Islam and Muslims from the face of the earth. The
battle is called 'al-Ahzab' in the Qur'an, and 'Khandaq in history, because the Holy
Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him had decided in consultation
with his Companions that a khandaq or trench be dug around parts of Madinah to
block the unhindered attack of the enemy during this battle. And this is what
happened:
The Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him was taking part in
this digging operation as an individual like everybody else. By chance, the diggers
came upon a huge rock in a certain part of the trench. Those who were assigned to
dig that part of the trench tried their best to break it apart but they became helpless
and
gave
up.
They asked Sayyidna Salman al-Farisi Radhi-Allahu Anh: Allah be pleased with him to
go to the Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him, tell him about
the problem and seek his instructions in this connection. The Holy Prophet Sallallahu
'Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him immediately came at the spot, took the pickaxe
in his blessed hands and struck at the rock. The rock was shattered into pieces and
from it rose a streak of light which illuminated the area far and wide. The Holy
Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him said: 'In this light, I see the
palaces
and
buildings
of
Hirah
in
the
country
of
Persia.
He struck again and a second beam of light rose. He said: 'In this light, I was shown
the red palaces and buildings of the Byzantinians.' When he struck the third time and
the flame beamed its light around, he said: 'In this I was shown the great palaces of
San'a in Yemen.' Then, he said: 'I share the good news given by Jibra'il with you that
my
community
of
Muslims
will
prevail
over
allthese
countries.'
When the hypocrites of Madinah heard about it, they found an occasion to ridicule
Muslims just look at these people, here they are all scared of the enemy, digging
trenches without eating and resting, not knowing for sure if their own lives will be

safe, yet they are dreaming of running over Persia, Byzantine and Yemen!' It was in
answer to a people so unfair and unjust that Allah Almighty revealed the verse:
The
full
verse
is;
Say: "O Allah, O Lord of the Kingdom, You give kingdom to whom You will, and take
kingdom away from whom You will; and You bestow honour on whom You will, and
bring disgrace to whom You will. In Your hand lies the good. over all things You have
power."(3:26)
[Note
7a]
"Oh, Allah! Make easy for us our situations/tasks with rest for our hearts and our
bodies; and peace and "well-being" in our spiritual and worldly lives and be to us our
Companion
in
our
journey
and
the
Guardian
of
our
family."
This starts with a dua asking Allah to make things easy in all tasks, even this dua
meaning, the Hizbul Bahr and its purpose of using it as a means getting success in
meeting ones needs to be made easy and that our bodies and hearts are given Peace
and then seeks protection or well-being, as 'afiya or 'well-being', is interesting as its
used in many Duas for Seeking Protection and we are encouraged to ask Allah for
'afiya.
The Prophet(S) said, Anyone of you for whom the door to dua has been opened, the
doors to mercy have been opened for him. And the thing that Allah likes Most to be
asked for is afiyah(well-being, health, security, protection). (Tirmidhi and Ibn
majah)
Abu Bakr (ra) said that Prophet (S) said, ask Allah for al-afw and al-'Afiyah because the
next
best
thing
after
certainty
is
Afiyah.
(Sahih
Al
Jamia)
The
Allahumma
O
Allah

Inni
ask

you

Asaluka
for

Al-Afwa
forgiveness

and

Dua:
wal-Afiyah
Protection

Al Afw- it is the forgiveness of sins and concealing them from others. In essence, we
are asking Allah to conceal all things we would be ashamed of becoming public. This
includes our shortcomings, mistakes and sins. And furthermore, we not only ask Allah
to kindly keep them hidden from others, but we further ask Him to forgive us those
wrongs.
Al Afiyah- It is Allahs protection from all sins, sickness, harm and punishment. In
essence, this is asking Allahs protection from things harmful to us and our interests in
this world. This includes matters that pertain to our worldly issues and issues that
deal
with
our
life
hereafter.
`Afiyah means safe from disease, grief and troubles. "Passing of the
safety (`Afiyah)'' signifies the change from a state of good health to a state of illness
and weakness or that one is overtaken by troubles and afflictions.

Ask Allah for `Afiya - for your sins to be forgiven and wiped away, so that it is as if you
never
even
committed
them.
Another
Hadith
with 'Afiya;
"Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min zawali ni`matika, wa tahawwuli `afiyatika, wa
fuja'ati niqmatika, wa jami`i sakhatika (O Allah! I seek refuge in You against the
declining of Your Favours, passing of safety, the suddenness of Your punishment and
all
that
which
displeases
You).''
After Seeking Protection the dua then Seeks Destruction of ones enemies, "Efface the
faces of our enemy. Freeze them in their places so that they are unable to go or to
come against us." And is a reference of the following verses of Quran that are used
after it, from Surah Yasin were, Allah warns the ones that followed Satan, the verses
before this Allah says "Today We shall put a seal on their mouths, and their hands will
speak to Us and their feet shall bear witness to what they had been doing" (36:65)
and then the 2 verses of threats or warning which are used in the Hizbul Bahr of how
helpless
Allah
makes
them
or
can
make
you.
"If We willed We would have wiped out their eyes, then they would have raced to the
Way, but how would they have seen? And if We willed, We would have frozen them in
their places, neither could they go forth or could they return (36:66-67)
So your eyes by virtue of whose sight you are carrying out all your obligations in the
world can be blinded at one command of Allah. And your legs on whose strength you
are showing all this activity can become paralyzed as and when Allah wills.
You can now see the energy of destruction of ones enemies is being
asked from; "Efface the faces of our enemy. Freeze them in their places so that they
are unable to go or to come against us" coupled with the following verses of
Quran (36:66-67) that are only used more of a threat, the two brings the feeling of
imminent
destruction of
ones
enemies.
[Note

When reading the words 'Shaahatil wujooh'-May their faces be deformed'. You hit or
slap your left hand on the floor. It says in the sirah that these were the words used by
the Holy Prophet (saw) when his house was seiged and he wanted to exit his house
and said these words and made hand movements to the enemy, they all fell asleep
and Sayyiduna Ali came into the house and slept in the bed of the Holy Prophet (saw).
[From Point.6 Upon reciting the on word ('Shaahatil wujooh'-May their faces be
deformed) slap the ground with your left hand. 3 times. with each recitation think in
your heart of your enemies that they be destroyed. and strike the ground, and
understanding is with the back of your right hand each time. however there is
another understanding of using the left hand with the palm hitting the floor each of

the 3 times and each with reciting Shaahatil wujooh'-May their faces be deformed.Again see point 5. about the meaning of faces be deformed and disgraced meaning
powerless]
[Note 9]
Reciting 'Haa Mim' 7 times.
Recite Ha-Mim seven times,1st Recite Ha-Mim and then blow to your right side, 2nd
Recite Ha-Mim and blow to your left side, 3rd Recite Ha-Mim and blow in Front of
yourself, then 4th Recite Ha-Mim and then blow behide your back. 5th Recite Ha-Mim
and then up into the air. 6th Recite Ha-Mim and blow down below. finally 7th Recite
Ha-Mim and then blow across into hands and rub across chest and all over over your
body.
The reasons for blowing all 7 directions is that there are 7 ways the devil and jinns
can attack, meaning the directions they can came or enter into your body and the 7th
is your Sadr-Chest refering to ones heart. Four of the seven are openly mentioned by
Satan
himself
in
the
Quran;
From the Quran: He [Satan] said: "By Your misguidance of me, I will lie in ambush for
them on your straight path. Then I will come at them, from in front of them and
behind them, from their right and from their left. You will not find most of them
thankful."
(Qur'an,
7:16-17)
So Shaytan says; "I will lie in ambush for them on your straight path then I will come
at them"(Qur'an) So beware that the Shaytan is setting up traps for us. What is an
ambush, it means a planned surprise attack, the act of lying in wait to attack by
surprise, a sudden attack made from a concealed position. So Shaytan and his
minions or serving Shaytan Jinns are always planning to attack us, from not four but
all
seven
directions;
As for Blowing; know that Shaytan blows on you and does other Vileness to the Son of
Adam
too
"Shaitan puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On
every knot he reads and( blows) the following words, 'The night is long, so stay
asleep.' When one wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone; and when one
performs ablution, the second knot is undone, and when one prays the third knot is
undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one
gets
up
lazy
and
with
a mischievous
heart."
The
other
Vileness
of
Shaytan
So he blows duas to make you lazy and sleep long and miss Fajr, And if you Miss Fajr
salah, then Shaytan URINATES in your ear,(As-salaatu khayrun min an-nawm- and so'
Pray is better then Sleep') and thus uses your ear as toliet,he stays up your nose when
you sleep (he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out
thrice in wudu ), when any baby is born he pokes or pinches that baby so that baby

cries (except Jesus, the son of Mary and Mary), he passes wind (farts) at when both
the Adhan and Iqama is said and causes issues while in Salah too, such as causing
forgetfulness of
rakah.
Shaytan eats your food if you dont say Bismillah and sleeps (gate crashs your house if
you dont give salam as you enter your homes) and will even join in with sexual acts if
you dont say Bismillah when you enter your wives, and laughs and looks at your
private parts when you undress thus say Bismillah when you undress your private parts
or pull down your clothes when going to the toliet and then evil Jinns and devils will
not be able to see your 'awra- or naknesses. and Shaytan will enter you if you yawn
thus its sunnah to cover your mouth when you yawn and if you are anger Shaytan runs
through
your
blood.
So learn to be calm when angered. And also from Surah Nas 114 we are told another
one the 7 ways or directions of Shaytan enters the Heart,"4.From evil of the
whisperer, 5. Who whispers in the breasts of mankind, 6. Of jinn and men." Surah
Nas
114:4-6.
Al-Hafidh Abu Ya'la Musily quoted a Hadith which reported the Prophet as saying:
"Satan puts his hand on the heart of man. If he celebrates the remembrance of Allah
he removes his hand and if he forgets Allah, Satan overcomes his heart fully. This is
the
'evil
of
the
whisperer.'
"
Ibn 'Abbas, says that the Satan is lying in wait for man. When he forgets Allah, he
starts whispering, and when he begins the remembrance of Allah, he retreats. And
one sees now the importance of finally the 7th Reciting of Ha-Mim and then blow
across into ones hands and rub across (chest-Heart-Sadr). These are the 7 directions
for protection from shaytan while he lies to ambush from all 7 directions.
Also these are the same ways Jinns can attack or enter a human body when black
magic is used.As the Sorceries when they blow knots on people to destroy them or
have them control by Jinn, they are blowing knots on the victims personal clothes or
personal hair (normally underwear/braor pubic hair, menstrual blood such as Pads
and Tampons are stolen from the victims homes/bins. Also Nails, as for Nails its best
to always cut them while in wudu thus they leave your body while in a
state of cleanliness and can't be affected with magic and is Sunnah to cut nails while
in Wudu on Fridays too) as "annafathati fee al-'uqad", literally "those who blow on
knots". Surah al Falaq-(Surah 113:4) So in effect the blowing of Ha-Mim makes a
shield or amulet from the attacks from evil, Jinns and magic from all 7 directions.
Also Shaykh Muhammad Yaqoubi mentions, there are also 7 surahs that start with HaaMeem.
Each
Ha-Meem,
is
refering
to
each
of
those
surahs.
Also those surahs which start with Ha-meem are also used are protection from hell too
see below.

[Note 10]
Protection against people who have enmity or jealousy towards you
Recite; Kaf Ha Ya 'Ain Sad, kifayatuna. Ha Meem 'Ain Seen Qaaf himayatuna
Fasayakfikahumullahu wa huwas-sami'ul 'aleem meaning "Kaf ha' ya' 'ayn sad is our
sufficiency. Ha' mim 'ayn sin qaf is our shelter. So God is sufficient for thee against
them, for He hears all, knows all." Recite 3 times and blow on your palms and rub
the plams all over your body before going to meet an unpleasant officer or person.He
will give you a good treatment. If recited 7 times every morning and evening Allah will
protect you againest all kinds of troubles.

'Bismillahi Babuna'-is the 'Barakah of the Door' meaning blessings for ones house. If
'Bismillahi Babuna' is written on a stone or a metal or a paper and pasted on the door
of the house, will create barakah for the house and keep the evils off the house.
[Note

Exclusive for women facing home problems
If women face any trouble, from husband, parents, in-laws (sisters /mother) or
estranged children after the death of husband or inheritors, then this act will be of
immense benefit.
The method is, recite; Sitrul 'arshi masbulun 'alayna meaning -'The veil of the Throne
is extended over us'. Recite this 100 times after Isha prayer for 21 days but with no
break. So keep the days of menstrual cycle in mind before starting this, starting
immediately after end of the period to be able to read regularly for 21 days. Be in
Wudu and fix a day and time for reading for 21 days with no change, otherwise no
result will be achieved. After 21 days when the objective is achieved then read only
for 18 times because the dua has 18 words and pray to Allah. Inshallah the desire will
be fulfilled very soon.

Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa huwa 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa rabbul 'arshil 'adheem[Sufficient for me is Allah, there is no god but He, upon Him I place my trust, and He

the earth or sky can do harm, for He is the All-Hearer, All-Knower". Recite it 3 times
after Fajr and 3 times after Maghrib; Also recited in Wird al-Latif of Imam al-haddad
Al-Tirmidhi and Abu Daud narrated that 'Uthman Ibn 'Affan said that the Prophet
(pbuh) said: "Whosoever says: Bismillahil ladhee la yadurru ma'asmihi shayun fil ardi
wa la fis-samaa-i wahuwas-sami'ul 'aleem, three times, no harm shall come to them."
And in another narration: "No sudden affliction will reach him." Also recited in Wird

Reciting: Audhu bi kalimatillahit-taammati min sharri ma khalaq-In the name of God,
with whose Name nothing in the earth or sky can do harm, for He is the All-Hearer,

In Sahih Muslim it is narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet(pbuh) said:
"Whosoever says at nightfall, Audhu bi kalimatillahit-taammati min sharri ma khalaq,
no harm shall affect him. And in another hadith a man came to the Prophet (pbuh)
and said:"What an affliction I received from a scorpion last night!" The Prophet (pbuh)
replied: "If you had said, when night fell, Audhu bi kalimatillahit-taammati min
sharri ma khalaq, it would not have harmed you." Also recited in Wird al-Latif

Wa la hawla wa la quwwata is a Remedy For Sorrow
It is also reported that La hawla wala quwwata illa billah is a Remedy/Cure for 99
Sicknesses/ailments, the least of which is sorrow. See full article about Secrets of
La hawla wa-la quwwata illa bi'Llah by Imam al-haddad
A hadith says that La hawla wala quwwata illa billah' is one of the treasures of the
Garden. Understand the indication contained in terming it a treasure and you will
know that its meaning is among the mysteries; for reward is of the same species as
the act. The Prophet s.a.w has also said Two rakaats in the depths of the night are
one of the treasures of goodness. Their reward comprises a hidden treasure because
the time of their occurence, namely the night implies this. Also recited in Wird alLatif of Imam al-haddad
