بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

Bismi-llahi-lladhi la yadurru ma'a-smihi shay'un fi-l-ardi wa la fi-s-sama', wa Huwa-s-Sami'u-l-'Alim.

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

Plain text (no diacritics)

بسم الله الذي لا يضر مع اسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء وهو السميع العليم

Source: Abu Dawud 5088

When is it said?

This dhikr has no fixed time: it is said by night and by day, while walking or waiting or doing anything that does not occupy the heart. The Prophet ﷺ would remember Allah at all his times.

The number attached to it is a deliberate sunnah rather than an approximation. Exceeding it is no sin, and falling short of it forfeits part of what was promised — but keeping steadily to a little is more beloved than a great deal that stops.
