upon encountering an enemy or those of authority
allahumma inna najaaaluka fee nuhoorihim wanaaaoothu bika min shuroorihim.
‘o allah, we place you before them and we take refuge in you from their evil.’
allahumma anta aaadudee, wa-anta naseeree, bika ajoolu wabika asoolu wabika oqatil.
‘o allah, you are my supporter and you are my helper, by you i move and by you i attack and by you i battle.’
hasbunal-lahu waniaamal-wakeel.
‘allah is sufficient for us, and how fine a trustee (he is).’
