The question

Is there a noble Hadith stating that whoever feels something strange in their home should say "Leave our house" three times, then "I adjure you to leave our house," then "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the instigations of devils, and I seek refuge in You, my Lord, from their presence"?

The answer

There is no with the exact wording mentioned, but there are narrations concerning how to deal with snakes that enter homes. Muslim reported in his that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, there are jinn in Madinah who have embraced Islam. So, if you see any of them, warn them for three days. If they appear to you after that, then kill them, for they are but devils." In another narration by Muslim: "Indeed, these houses have 'Awamir (jinn inhabitants). So, if you see any of them, warn them thrice. If it leaves, then kill it, for it is a disbeliever." Al-Nawawi said: "If it does not leave after the warning, you will know that it is not one of the 'Awamir of the houses, but rather a devil, so kill it." Scholars explained the manner of warning as saying: "I adjure you by Allah and the Last Day not to appear to us, and not to harm us," or "I implore you by the covenant that Sulayman took from you, not to harm us and not to appear to us."
