١٧٣ - باب ما يدعو به إذا خاف ناسا أو غيرهم

On the authority of Abu Musa al-Ashʿari (may Allah be pleased with him): that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), whenever he feared a people, would say: "O Allah, we place You before them at their throats, and we seek refuge in You from their evils." Reported by Abu Dawud and al-Nasaʾi with a sound chain.
