DUA SEEKING REFUGE FROM EVERY SHAYTAN,

Narrated Ibn Abbas (‫ )رضي اهلل عنه‬that the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬used to seek Refuge with Allah for Al-
Hasan and Al-Husain and say: “Your forefather (i.e. Abraham) used to seek Refuge with
Allah for Ishmael and Isaac by reciting the following:

‫ َو ِم ْن ُكِّل َع ْي ٍن َالَّم ٍة‬، ‫َأ ُع وُذ ِب َكِلَم اِت اِهَّلل الَّت اَّم ِة ِم ْن ُكِّل َش ْي َط اٍن َو َه اَّم ٍة‬

A’udhu bi kalimaat-illaahit-taammah min kulli shaytaanin, wa haammah, wa min kulli

‛aynin laammah

(O Allah! I seek Refuge with Your Perfect Words from every devil and from poisonous pests
and from every evil, harmful, envious eye)

[Sahih al-Bukhari 3371]

The pronoun can be changed to reflect who the Dua/Ruqyah is being recited/performed upon.

Explanation:
Abul Ulaa Abdur-Rahmaan al-Mubarakfooree (‫ )رحمه اهلل‬said:

‘Allah’s words’: ‘It has been said that they are the Qur’an and it has also been said they are
Allah’s names.’
‘Perfect’: ‘Al-Jazari said: ‘Indeed Allah’s speech has been described as being Perfect, because it is
not permissible for any of His speech to have deficiency or fault like there is in the speech of
people.’

‘It has been said that the meaning of ‘Perfect’ here is that it benefits the one seeking refuge with
these ‘Perfect words’, and protect him from illnesses and this would be sufficient for him.’

‘Poisonous creature’: ‘Every type of creature that kills with poison. And it is possible that it
could mean any crawling animal even if it does not kill, like insects.’

‘Evil eye’: ‘From every evil type of affliction from the eye.’

[Taken from: ‘Tuhfahtul Ahawadhi’ an explanation of Sunan at-Tirmidhi]

Ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Baari (6/410):

Hammah: One of the reptiles there are poisonous ones and everything that contains poison, and
those poisons that don’t kill their venom is called toxins. The meaning is that every creature has
some bad in it, according to al-Hafiz.

Lammah: Al-Khattabi said, it means every disease and epidemic that can affect man with
regards to being possessed and mental insanity. End quote.

Shaykh Abdur-Razzaq al-Badr said:

The Prophet’s (‫ )ﷺ‬saying, in the Hadeeth: ‘I seek refuge…’ – means to search for shelter and to
hold fast to something for protection. Its reality is to flee from something which you fear, fleeing
to one who can protect you from it and defend you from its evil/harm. Hence, the one who seeks
refuge in Allah has fled from that which will harm him or destroy him, fleeing to his Lord and
his Master, throwing himself in front of Him, clinging to Him, seeking safety through Him, and
turning to Him for shelter.

The intended meaning of the Prophet’s (‫ )ﷺ‬saying: ‘…the Words of Allah’ is the Noble Qur’an. It
has also been said that what is intended is His Words that contain the divine decrees which
govern everything that happens in the universe. And what is meant by ‘… Perfect (words)…’ is
that His Words are complete and perfect, to the extent that they contain none of the deficiencies,
defects, or shortcomings that are found in the speech of human beings.

[Excerpt from the Book ‘Explanation of the Morning and Evening Adhkār’ (Words of
Remembrance of the Prophet Muhammad ‫ )ﷺ‬Taken from ‘Fiqh al-Ad’iyah wal-Adhkar’ Shaykh
Abdur-Razzaq ibn Abdul-Muhsin al-Badr]

How to Seek Refuge from the Evil Eye for Children

By the Muhaddith, Shaykh, Allamaa’ Muhammad Nasir uddeen al-Albaani (‫)رحمه اهلل‬
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

Shaykh al-Albaani was asked over the phone:

Phone rings.
Shaykh: yes!

Caller: Aslaamu alaykum.

Shaykh: Wa alaykum as-Salaam.

Caller: O Shaykh regarding ‘I seek refuge for you two with Allaah’s perfect words from every
Shaytaan (devil) and poisonous creature and every evil eye.’ Is this said three consecutive times
or just once?

Shaykh: No, it is mentioned once, however if it appears to the one saying this Dua’ that he needs
to repeat it without specifying three times, then there is no problem with that.

Caller: and should he place his hand on the head of the one sought refuge for?

Shaykh: Yes, yes!

Caller: Even in congregation, if it is a group of children together, how can he place his hand
upon all of them?

Shaykh: He should place his two hands on two of the children, then repeat this on the rest of the
children.

Caller: Right hand and left hand, with both hands?

Shaykh: Yes, yes.

Caller: Regarding the hadeeth that the Messenger (‫–)ﷺ‬

would not sleep until he recited Soorah Mulk, al-Isra, Zumar, and Sajdah, is this when he lies
down on his bed at night, or before he lies down?

Shaykh: What is important is that he recites before he falls asleep, whether it is whilst he is
sitting or lying then it is up to him’
