When facing concerns when entering a new village or settlement, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had a recipe for prayer that he practiced himself. This story is recorded in the works of Ibn Sunni and Imam Nasai, as mentioned by Imam al-Nawawi in al-Ad. This narration is sourced from Shuhaib RA. اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظْلَلْنَ، وَرَبَّ الْأَرْضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَقْلَلْنَ، وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَمَا أَضْلَلْنَ، وَرَبَّ الرِّيَاحِ وَمَا ذَرَيْنَ، فَإِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْقَرِيَةِ وَخَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا، وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ أَهْلِهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا.

               

O Allah, the Lord of the seven-layered heavens and their shadows, the Lord of the seven-layered earth and those who carry us, the Lord of the devils and their misleading efforts, the Lord of the winds and their gusts, we seek from You the goodness of this village and its inhabitants. We also seek forgiveness from the evil of this village, its inhabitants, and whatever happens within it.

Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
