Dua for Seeking Protection of Children and Others

We relate from the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī from Ibn ‘Abbās  who reported that the Messenger of Allah used to seek protection for Ḥasan and Ḥusayn, saying: “I seek protection for the two of you with the perfect words of Allah from every shayṭān and poisonous thing, and from the evil eye.” He  also said: “Verily your father [Ibrāhīm] used to seek protection by it for Ismā‘īl and Isḥāq.”

أُعِيذُكُمَا بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّةِ، مِن كُلِّ شَيطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ، وَمِن كُلِّ عَينٍ لَامَّةٍ. 

“U‘īdhukumā bi-kalimāti-llāhi-t-tāmmah, min kulli shayṭānin wa hāmmah, wa min kulli ‘aynin lāmmah.
