The Sunnah

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever says when leaving his house, ‘Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘alallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah’ (In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah), it will be said to him: ‘You are guided, defended, and protected,’ and the devil will turn away from him."
