It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me, what should I say when morning or evening comes? He said: "Say: «اَللّٰهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ . . . . . . مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ شِرْكِهِ» O Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Lord and Owner of everything, I bear witness that there is no deity except You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self and from the evil of Satan and his shirk (associating partners with You)."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When morning and evening come, recite this supplication, and recite it when you go to bed."
