Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَوِّذُ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ، وَيَقُولُ " إِنَّ أَبَاكُمَا كَانَ يُعَوِّذُ بِهَا إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ : أُعِيذُكُمَا بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ، مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ ".
Ibn Abbas narrated: "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to seek refuge for Al-Hasan and Al-Husain, and he would say: 'Your father (i.e., Ibrahim) used to seek refuge with these words for Isma'il and Ishaq: I seek protection for you in the Perfect Words of Allah from every devil and every poisonous pest, and from every harmful envious eye.'" (Bukhari 3371)
