person to recite that which is narrated in the Sunnah as being
effective in providing protection, suchas Aayat al-Kurisy, for if a
person recites Aayat al-Kursiy at night, he will continue to have
protection from Allaah, and no shaytaan will come near him until
morning. And Allaah is theProtector.'"
(Majmoo' Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 1/287-288)
The Sunnah mentions adhkhaar (dhikr) by means of which one may gain
protection from the shayaateen (devils). Theseinclude:
Seeking refuge with Allaah from the jinn:
Allaah says (interpretationof the meaning):
"And if an evil whisper from Shaytaan (Satan) tries to turn you away
(O Muhammad) (from doing good), then seek refuge inAllaah. Verily, He
is the All Hearer, the All Knower"[Fussilat 41:36]
"And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaytaan (Satan), then seek
refuge with Allaah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower"
[al-A'raaf 7:200]
It was narrated from Sulaymaan ibn Sard that two men were trading
insults in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon them), until the faceof one of them turned red. The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "I know a word
which, if he were to say it, what he is sufferingfrom would go away:
'A'oodhu Billaahi min al-Shaytaan il-rajeem (I seek refuge with Allaah
from the accursed Shaytaan).'"
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3108; Muslim, 2610)
2 - Reciting al-Mi'wadhatayn (the last two Soorahs of the Qur'aan,
al-Falaq and al-Naas).
It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with
him) said: "The Messengerof Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) used to seek refuge with Allaah from the jinn and from the
evil eye until the Mi'wadhatayn were revealed, and when they were
revealed he started to recite them and not anything else."
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2058; he said it is hasan ghareeb. Also
narrated by al-Nasaa'i, 5494; Ibn Maajah, 3511. The hadeeth was
classed as saheeh by al-Albaani (mayAllaah have mercy on him) in
Saheeh al-Jaami', 4905).
3 - Reciting Aayat al-Kursiy
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: "The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) put me in charge of
guarding the zakaah of Ramadaan. Someone came to me andstarted
grabbing handfulsof the food. I took hold of him and said, 'I will
take you to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him).' He said, 'I will teach you some words by means of which
Allaah will benefit you.' I said, 'What are they?' He said, 'When you
go to your bed, recite this aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
"Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none hasthe right to be worshipped but
He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyoom (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and
protects all that exists)..." [al-Baqarah 2:255] - until he completed
the aayah. Then Allaah will appoint aguard for you who will stay with
you and no shaytaan (devil) will comenear you until morning.' The
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked
me, 'What did your prisoner do last night?' I said, 'O Messenger of
Allaah, he taught me something, and claimed that Allaah would benefit
me by it.' He said, 'What was it?' I said, 'He taught me to recite
Aayat al-Kursiy when I go to bed, and said that no shaytaan would come
near me until morning, and that Allaah would appoint a guard for me
who would stay with me.'The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said, 'He told you the truth, although he is an inveterate
liar. That was the Shaytaan.'"
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3101)
4 - Reciting Soorat al-Baqarah
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:"Do not make your houses
like graves, for theShaytaan runs away from a house in which Soorat
al-Baqarah is recited."(Narrated by Muslim, 780)
5 - The last verses of Soorat al-Baqarah
It was narrated that Abu Mas'ood al-Ansaari said:"The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: 'Whoever
recites the last two verses of Soorat al-Baqarah at night, that will
suffice him.'" (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4723; Muslim, 807)
It was narrated from al-Nu'maan ibn Basheer (may Allaah be pleased
with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: "Allaah inscribed a book two thousand years before He created
the heavens and the earth, from which the last two aayahs of Soorat
al-Baqarah were revealed.If they are recited for three nights, no
shaytaan (devil)will remain in the house)./ - - - :-> Transtors:
