MIDNIGHT حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
Hasbuna Allahu wa ni'mal-wakeel
Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.
Duas for Protection
These are the supplications the Prophet ﷺ used when something was feared: harm on a journey, an enemy gathering, the weight of worry that arrives at night. Every one below carries its source, so you can check it.
Three of them are meant to be repeated. “Bismillahi alladhi la yadurru” is said three times in the morning and three in the evening, and “A'udhu bikalimatillahit-tammat” is said on arriving anywhere new. “Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel” has no fixed number — it was said by Ibrahim in the fire and by the believers when they were warned of an army.
