Narrated Shakl ibn Humayd: I said: Messenger of Allah, teach me a supplication. He said: Say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I hear, from the evil of what I see, from the evil of what I speak, from the evil of what I think, and from the evil of my semen" (i.e. sexual passion). Sunan Abi Dawud 1551 [Sahih (Albani). Abu Daud: 1551]
