At-Tirmidhi records on the authority of Anas Malik that the Prophet
(salla llahu alayhi wa sallam) said,
“Whoever says (meaning, upon leaving his house) Bismillahi twakkaltu
al-Allah wa la haula wa la quwwata illa billah,(In the name of Allah.
I trust in Allah. There is no power or might except Allah), it is
said to him, ‘You have been guided, defended and protected.’ And he
will be protected against Shaytan. And Shaytan will say to another
devil,‘What can we do with a man who has been guided, defended, and
protected?’”
This was also related by Abu Dawud and an-Nasai.
At-Tirmidhi said the hadith is hasan. And it is confirmed that the
Prophet(salla llahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Whoever repeats one
hundred times in a day, ‘There is no god except Allah, the One who
has no partner, Whose is the dominion and the Praise, and who has
power over all things,’ will be protected from Shaytan until the
evening.” And Sufyan mentioned from Abu az-Zubair on the authority of
Abdullah ibn Dhamra that Kaab said that when a man leaves his home
and says, “In the name of Allah,” an angel will say, “You have been
guided.” And if he says,“I trust in Allah,” the angel says,“You have
been protected.” And when he says, “There is no power or might except
Allah,” the angel says, " You have been guarded." Then the devils say
to each other, “Go back, you have no way to him. How could you have a
way to someone who has been sufficed, guided and guarded?”
