353. Dua for Protection from Shaytan (Masnun Dua)

Narrated ‘Aishah: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out from her (house) at night. She said: I felt jealous of him. Then he came and saw what I was doing. He said, “What’s the matter with you, O ‘Aishah? Are you jealous?” I said, “How can it be that one such as I would not be jealous over one such as you?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Has your devil come to you?” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, is there a devil with me?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “And is there a devil with every person?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “And with you, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Yes, but my Lord helped me against him until he accepted Islam.” (Bukhari 3282) Dua (from the Sunnah): أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ A‛oodhu billaahi minash-Shaytaanir-rajeem I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed.
