Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham said regarding meditation and dhikr at night:
Grand Shaykh `Abdullah al-Fa’iz ad-Daghestani said in order to save yourself from that and to enter in the ocean of knowledge, you have to recite the following:
Three times shahadatayn, 70x astaghfirullah, 1x Surat al-Fatiha, 3x Surat al-Ikhlas and to present them to the Prophet (s) and then He in turn will present them to Allah (swt).
If that person reads that and sleeps with that principle, Allah (swt) will give him visions and dreams as if he is in the Presence of the Prophet (s).
He said that awliyaullah know that their followers are helpless and they do on their behalf, but they ask their followers to do something in order to connect their pipes together. He said that this person will be protected from sharr, from evil power. And he said that Allah (swt) said in Holy Qur’an, atee’oollah wa atee’oor-rasula wa uli’l-amri minkum, “Obey Allah, obey the Messenger and those who in authority among you.” (4:59)
