Hisn al-Muslim 14
((يَبْدَأُ بِرِجْلِهِ الْيُسْرَى)) وَيَقُولُ: ((بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَالصّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِك، اللَّهُمَّ اعْصِمْنِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ)).
(Bismil-lah wassalatu wassalamu AAala rasoolil-lah, allahumma innee as-aluka min fadlik, allahumma iAAsimnee minash-shaytanir-rajeem.)
In the name of Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, I ask You from Your favour. O Allah, guard me from the accursed devil.

It opens on two things that ask for nothing: the name of Allah, and prayers and peace upon His Messenger ﷺ. Only then do two requests follow, and they run in opposite directions. The first asks for something to be given — from Your favour — and the second for something to be kept away, the accursed devil. Each request restarts with its own address, so He is named at the head of both.
The chapter places these words at the moment of leaving the mosque.
The favour asked for is left unspecified while the danger is named exactly. One request stays open and the other is precise about what it wants guarded against.
