حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنِي الزُّبَيْدِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ طَارِقٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُخَاشِنٍ - عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِلَدِيغٍ لَدَغَتْهُ عَقْرَبٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَوْ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يُلْدَغْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ ‏"‏ لَمْ تَضُرَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

English Translation

Narrated AbuHurayrah:

A man who was stung by a scorpion was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ). He said: Had he said the word: "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created, "he would not have been stung, or he said, "It would not have harmed him."
