عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما: عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه كان إذا دخل المسجد قال: «أعوذ بالله العظيم، وبوجهه الكريم، وسلطانه القديم، من الشيطان الرَّجِيم»، قال: أَقَطُّ؟ قلت: نعم، قال: فإذا قال ذلك قال الشيطان: حُفِظَ منِّي سائر اليوم.
Kutoka kwa Abdallahi bin Amru bin A'swi -radhi za Allah ziwe juu yao yeye na baba yake: Kutoka kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake, yakwamba yeye alikuwa anapoingia msikitini anasema: "Najilinda kwa Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu, na kwa uso wake mkarimu, na kwa mamlaka yake ya tangu, kutokana na shetani aliyelaaniwa" Akasema: Hivyo tu? Nikasema ndiyo. Akasema: Mtu anaposema hivyo shetani husema: Huyu kalindwa nami siku yake nzima.
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque, he would say: "a‘ūdhu billāhi al-‘azhīm wa biwajhihi al-karīm wa sultānihi al-qadīm min ash-shaytān ar-rajīm" (I seek refuge in Allah, the Majestic, and in His noble Countenance, and in His eternal dominion, from the accursed devil) He said: "Is that all?" I said: 'Yes.' He said: "And when he says that, the devil says: "He is protected from me for the rest of the day."
Fadhila za kuomba kwa dua hii wakati wa kuingia msikitini, nakuwa dua hii humkinga msemaji wake kutokana na Shetani siku nzima.
Tahadhari kutokana na Shetani, nakuwa humuwinda Muislamu; kwa ajili ya kumpoteza na kumshawishi.
Mtu atalindwa kutokana na upotofu na udanganyifu wa Shetani kwa kiwango ambacho moyo wake unamwamini Mwenyezi Mungu na kuihudhurisha dua hii, na kuamini kwake ahadi za Mwenyezi Mungu zinazotokana nayo.
