In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing in the earth or the heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

Virtue: Nothing will harm the one who says it.
About this dhikr
Uthman ibn Affan reported the Prophet ﷺ saying that no servant says, morning and evening — *In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing on earth or in the heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing* — three times, except that nothing will harm him (Abu Dawud 5088, at-Tirmidhi 3388).
The meaning is that harm does not befall alongside the name of Allah — not that the one who says it is placed beyond every trial. Something resembling affliction did befall one of the narrators of this hadith, and it was not taken to contradict it: unbroken ease is not the measure of the promise, and what reaches a believer afterwards is not, in reality, harm to him.
It is said three times in the morning and three in the evening. It is among the shortest things in the litany, which makes it the natural place to begin for anyone whose time is short.
When is it said?
The morning adhkar are said from dawn until the sun has risen, and best of all immediately after the Fajr prayer, before you leave the place where you prayed. If the window passes, say them when you remember — adhkar are not like obligatory prayers, which are not valid outside their time.
Where it comes in the litany
Dhikr number 18 of 22 in Morning Adhkar — read in the order they are said.
