Riyad as-Salihin, 1327
Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) had any fear of an enemy, he used to supplicate: "Allahumma inna naj'aluka fi nuhurihim, wa na'udhu bika min shururihim (O Allah! We put You in front of them, and we seek refuge in You from their evils)." <b>[Ahmad and Abu Dawud]</b>.
وعن أبي موسى، رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا خاف قومًا قال: اللهم إنا نجعلك في نحورهم، ونعوذ بك من شرورهم". ((رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح)).
