After a Nightmare – Dua for Protection

Arabic:

أَعُوْذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللّٰهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ، وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ، وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِيْنِ وَأَنْ يَّحْضُرُوْنِ

Transliteration:

Aʿūdhu bi kalimātillāhi-t-tāmmāti min ghaḍabihi wa ʿiqābih, wa sharri ʿibādih, wa min hamazāti-sh-shayāṭīn wa an yaḥḍurūn.

Translation:

I seek protection in the perfect words of Allah from His anger and His punishment, from the evil of His servants, and from the evil whisperings of the devils and from their presence near me.

ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb narrated from his father, who narrated from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“When one of you becomes frightened during sleep, then let him say [the above du‘ā]. For verily, they shall not harm him.”

He said:

“So ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAmr (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) used to teach it to those of his children who had reached maturity, and for those who had not, he would write it on a sheet and hang it around their necks.”
