This hadith is also transmitted by 'Abd al-'Aziz with the same chain of transmitters, and the words are: I seek refuge with Allah from the wicked and noxious things.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to seek refuge in Allah whenever we feel threatened or scared, as He alone has the power to protect us from any harm or danger. We must also strive to stay away from any form of wickedness or malice, so that we can remain safe and secure in this life and the hereafter. By seeking refuge with Allah, we are reminded of His mercy and kindness towards His creation; He will always provide a way out for those who turn towards Him for help.
