It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
“A scorpion stung a man and
he did
not sleep all the night. It was said to the Prophet (ﷺ): ‘So-
and-so
was stung by a scorpion and he did not sleep all the night.’ He
said: ‘If he had said, last night: A’udhu
bikalimatil-lahit-tammati
min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the
Perfect Words of Allah from
the evil of that which He has created),
the scorpion sting would not
have harmed him, until morning.’”
