BENEFIT AND VIRTUE

Narrated by Khawlah bint Hakeem Al-Sulamiyyah r.a said I heard Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Whoever make a stop on a journey and say this Dua, nothing will harm him until he moves on from that place”. Sahih Muslim 2708 Abu Hurairah r.a said: A man came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I was stung by a scorpion last night”. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “If you had said this Dua, when evening came it would not have harmed you”.
