other Prophet.
Reference: Anas (RA)
said that he heard the Prophet (SAW) say: "That I sit with people
remembering Almighty Allah from the morning (Fajr) prayer until sunrise
is more beloved to me than freeing four slaves from among the Children
of Isma'il. That I sit with people remembering Allah from the afternoon
('Asr) prayer until the sun sets is more beloved to me than freeing four
slaves from among the Children of Isma'il." This was reported by Abu
Dawud (no. 3667). Al-Albani graded it good in SahihAbu Dawud 2/698.

I seek refuge in
Allah from Satan the outcast. - Allah! There is none worthy of worship
but He, the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that
exists. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever
is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can
intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to
them in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And
they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He
wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels
no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the
Most Great.
Reference: Whoever
says this when he rises in the morning will be protected from jinns
until he retires in the evening, and whoever says it when retiring in
the evening will be protected from them until he rises in the morning.

Sahihut-Targhib wat-Tarhib 1/273, and traces it to An-Nasa'i and At-Tabarani.
