Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) take the two Mu'awwidhat and leave aside the other forms of seeking refuge?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
You left all the forms of seeking refuge, O Shaykh, after the two Mu'awwidhat were revealed, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
No, the forms of seeking refuge are numerous, but these are among the best: "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created," "I seek refuge in Allah, the perfect words of Allah, from every devil and poisonous creature, from every evil eye," "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah which no righteous person or sinner can surpass," "I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the accursed Shaytan," "I seek refuge in Allah from every evil," "I seek refuge in Allah from every calamity," meaning one seeks refuge in Allah from every evil.
The questioner:
Or, in the context of the hadith, when they were revealed, you take them and leave aside what you used to take.
The Shaykh:
Meaning, use these, but the reality indicates that he (peace and blessings be upon him) did this and that.
