7. When you are traveling and night sets in, recite the following dua for protection:

يَا أَرْضُ رَبِّيْ وَرَبُّكِ اللهُ أَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّكِ وَشَرِّ مَا فِيْكِ وَشَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ فِيْكِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَيْكِ وَأَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ أَسَدٍ وَأَسْوَدْ وَمِنَ الْحَيَّةِ وَالْعَقْرَبِ وَمِنْ سَاكِنِ الْبَلَدِ وَمِنْ وَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ

O earth! My Rabb and your Rabb is Allah Ta‘ala! I seek protection in Allah Ta‘ala from your evil (the harm that is caused through the ground e.g. earthquakes, sinking into the ground, etc.), and the evil of that which is contained in you (e.g. harmful plants, etc.), and the evil of that which He created in you (e.g. harmful insects and other harmful creatures), and the evil of that which creeps upon you (i.e. harmful creatures which move on the earth), and I seek the protection of Allah Ta‘ala from a lion, and a black snake (a very dangerous type of snake), and from all snakes and scorpions, and from the residents of the earth (human and jinn), and from that which begets and that which is begotten (i.e. from humans and the shayaateen, or from every creature that is created through procreation).” ^[1]
