It is narrated from Yahya bin Saeed that on the night when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was taken on the Night Journey (Mi'raj), a giant appeared, as if he had a flame of fire in one of his hands. Whenever the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, looked, he would see him coming towards him. Jibreel (Gabriel), peace be upon him, said: "Shall I teach you some words, so that if you say them, his flame will be extinguished?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Why not, teach me." Jibreel, peace be upon him, said: "Say! «‏‏‏‏أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِ اللّٰهِ الْكَرِيمِ....» That is: I seek refuge in the Face (i.e., the Essence) of Allah, the Most Mighty, and in His perfect words, which neither the righteous nor the wicked can surpass (i.e., none has more knowledge than them), from the evil of what descends from the sky, and what ascends to it, and from the evil of what He has created in the earth, and what comes out of it, and from the trials of night and day, and from the calamities of night and day, and from sudden misfortunes, except the misfortune that brings good, O Most Merciful."
