Reading Time: < 1 minute

One day it was said to Ibne Darba: Your house has caught fire.  He said: I do not believe it.  Another passer-by said the same thing.  Ibne Darda said: I do not believe.  A third person said the same thing and heard the same answer.   Later it became clear that everything around Ibne Darda’s house had caught fire save his house.  They asked him: How did you know that?   He said: I heard from the Holy Prophet (SAW) as saying: *     * “Whoever recites the following every morning, he will not experience any harm on that day.  And whoever recites it in the evening, he will not experience any harm on that night.  I too recites the words: O God! You are my Lord! There is no good but You.   rely on You while You are the Lord of the heavens.  There is neither might nor power but with Allah, the Great, the Exalted.  Whatever He wills, will be done and nothing will be done if He does not will.  I know that God has power over everything and He encompasses everything.  O God! I seek refuge in You from the evil of myself, from the evil of a bad destiny, from the evil of one who has evil, from jinn and men, from the evil of every beast the control of which is in Your hand. Surely my Lord is on a straight path.” Reference : Oddatud Daee
