Dua for Protection from Shaytan English Translation
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When you hear the crowing of cocks, ask for Allah's Blessings for (their crowing indicates that) they have seen an angel. And when you hear the braying of donkeys, seek Refuge with Allah from Satan for (their braying indicates) that they have seen a Satan." [1] When you hear the donkeys of dogs and the braying of asses at night, seek refuge in Allah, for they see which you do not see. [2]
