عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا خَافَ قَوْمًا قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِي نُحُورِهِمْ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Burda ibn Abdullah narrates from his father who narrates: When the Prophet ﷺ feared a (group of) people, he would say: "O Allah, we make Thee our shield against them and take refuge in Thee from their evils."
