The answer

The was narrated by Imam Ahmad from Abd al-Rahman ibn Khunbush, and its wording is: "I seek refuge in Allah's perfect words, which no righteous or wicked person can transgress, from the evil of what He created, originated, and made; and from the evil of what descends from the sky; and from the evil of what ascends into it; and from the evil of what He created in the earth; and from the evil of what emerges from it; and from the evil of the trials of night and day; and from the evil of every night visitor, except a night visitor who comes with good, O Most Merciful." It was also narrated by Al-Nasa'i in Al-Kubra, and Al-Tabarani in Al-Du'a, and was authenticated by Al-Albani in Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah.
