Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: It was reported from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Whoever lodges in a place and saysJami` at-Tirmidhi 3604bSahih (Darussalam), then nothing in that lodging will harm him. Some people say that one may recite this phrase, yet still be affected by what harms him. What is the answer to this?
Answer:
The answer is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth, and that whoever says this with a sincere heart and seeking help from Allah, what is the matter? As for merely uttering the words, where the person’s heart is heedless, this dhikr may not benefit him. He did not say it with intention or presence of heart, nor with certainty; he said it with a tongue that rejected it.
