Why abu hurairah called abu hurairah

‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach his Companions, saying: “When one of you reached the morning, then let him say, ‘O Allah, by You we enter the morning, and by You we enter the evening, and be You we live, and by You we died, and to You is the Return.’ And when he reaches the evening let him say, ‘O Allah, by You we enter the evening, and by You we enter the morning, and by You we live, and by You we die, and to You is the Resurrection.’”’

Jami’ al-Tirmidhi, , Sunan Abu Dawud, , Sunan Ibn Majah, and others.

It was graded as sahih by Ibn Hajar as in futuhat ar-rabbaniyyah: 3/ Some versions of the narration have nushur mentioned for both morning and evening.

Invocation 16 from Morning and Evening Invocations is known as:

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira’s رضي الله عنه Shield of Protection

I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah in entirety from the evil He has created.

Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported that a person came to Allah’s Messenger ﷺ and said:

‘Allah’s Messenger, I was stung by a scorpion during the night.

Thereupon he said: Had you recited these words in the evening: “I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allah from the evil of what He created,” it would not have done any harm to you.’

Sahih Muslim, b& a; Muwatta Imam Malik, 2/; Sunan Abu Dawud, ; Sunan Ibn Majah, ; Jami’ al-Tirmidhi, ; al-Tirmidhi relates it and graded it hasan in his Jami’ with the additional mention of three times.)

Khawla bint Hakim as-Sulamiyya رضي الله عنها reported:

‘I heard Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying: When any one of you stays at a place, he should say: “I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allah from the evil of that He created.” Nothing would then do him any harm until he moves from that place.’

Sunan Ibn Majah,

Ibn as-Sunni said in his book: Say three times “I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allah from the evil of what He created,” and you will not be harmed.
