Riyad as-Salihin, 1483
Shakal bin Humaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I asked: "O Messenger of Allah, teach me a prayer." He (ﷺ) said, "Say: Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min sharri sam'i, wa min sharri basari, wa min sharri lisani, wa min sharri qalbi, wa min sharri maniyyi (O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the evils of my hearing, the evils of my seeing, the evils of my tongue; the evils of my heart and the evils of passions)." <b>[Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi]</b>.
وعن شكل بن حميد، رضي الله عنه قال: قلت يا رسول الله: علمني دعاء. قال:
قل: اللهم إني أعوذ بك من شر سمعي، ومن شر بصري، ومن شر لساني، ومن شر قلبي، ومن شر مني
. رواه أبو داود والترمذي وقال حديث حسن.

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Man’s senses and organs are blessings for which he must show gratefulness to Allah by using them for the purpose which they were created for, namely servitude to Allah Almighty and resorting to Him for protection against the evil of those senses, for He is the One Who changes their state and knows their secrets.<br>
2) Asking scholars about what is beneficial to people is encouraged, since scholars are the heirs of prophets.
