Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Who said: The hadith of Khawlah (
When anyone lands at a place, and then says:" I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allahمَنْ نَزلَ مَنزِلًا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمات اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ...
Sahih Muslim 2708a
) — do the insects not approach it, or do they approach it and harm it, but do not hurt it?

Answer:
This may happen, but as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
They will not harm youلم تضرّك
, he did not say: "They did not approach you," he said:
They will not hurt youلم تضرك
, so they are words that if you say them, they will not harm you.
Q: Is the hadith of Khawlah said three times?
A: Yes, it came in a narration: "Three times," through a different chain.
Q: Does he say this at the beginning of his residence in the new house?
A: He says: "I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He created." Good, if he enters at night, or enters during the day, he makes it a habit.
Q: Does he repeat it constantly?
A: That would be better and more complete.
