Seek refuge when stopping at a place

What It Means: Reading in Context

Khawla bint Hakim reports this supplication taught by the Prophet for someone stopping at a place. The complete narration connects it with protection until leaving that stopping place. The displayed English retains the source’s singular wording, Perfect Word, while the Arabic is preserved as displayed. This is a hadith-sourced supplication, not a Qur’anic verse. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2708a. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
