Dua for Whisperings in Prayer English Translation
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast.

Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:, That is (the doing of a) Satan (devil) who is known as Khinzab, and when you perceive its effect, seek refuge with Allah from it and spit three times to your left. Uthman (RA) said: I did that and Allah dispelled that from me.
