Protection Against an Enemy

There appears a narration from Sayyidna Muhallab Ibn Abi Safrah in Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi through a chain rated as 'Sahih' in which he said, 'it was reported to me by a person who had himself heard the Holy Prophet saying (on the occasion of some Jihad concerning a night vigil) that 'should you be attacked at the time of night, you recite: (Ha Mim la yunsarun) which means reciting (Ha Mim) and praying that the enemy does not succeed. Then there are some narrations in which this formulation appears as: (Ha Mim la yunsaru - without the letter: (nun) at the end) the outcome of which is that, 'should you say: (Ha Mim), the enemy will not succeed.' From this we learn that (Ha Mim) serves as a fortress against the enemy. (Ibn Kathir)
