(I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah, from every devil and every poisonous reptile, and from every evil eye).’”

A'udhu (plural : U'eedhu) bi kalimaat Allaahi ttaammati min kulli shaytaanin wa haammah wa min kulli ‘aynin laammah

(I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah, from every devil and every poisonous reptile, and from every evil eye).’”

Note : The Dua mentioned above, is the dua which rasool s.a.w used to recite
to protect Al-Hassan r.a and Al-Hussayn r.a. hence he used to word U’eedhukuma ( I seek protection for you two ). But if one wants to protect himself, he should say – `Aaudhu (i.e. I seek refuge {for me} as mentioned in the roman English transliteration) instead of U’eedhukuma

Transliteration of the above dua'a : Ueedhukumaa bi kalimaat Allaah al-taammaati min kulli shaytaanin wa haammah wa min kulliaynin laammah (I seek refuge for you both in the perfect words of Allaah, from every devil and every poisonous reptile, and from every evil eye).” [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2060), Sunan Abu Dawood (4737) and Sunan Ibn Maajah (3525) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]. And he would say: “Thus Ibraaheem used to seek refuge with Allaah for Ishaaq and Ismaa’eel عليهم السلام.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (3371),Ahaadeeth al-Anbiyaa’, 3120]

If you want to recite this du`a for your child or someone else who is a male (father, brother, friend) then the wordings can be

:اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُعِيذُهُ بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ"

The prophet (s.a.w) is reported to have used these words for Ali (r.a) in Tabraani, Majma az-Zawaid, Bazzar, Ibn Hibban and elsewhere. but this hadeeth is dhaeef , nevertheless take the wordings of the dua which means :O Allah! I seek your protection for him and his progeny from Shaytan the accursed

or you can add this at the start of the former dua (i.e dua no. 13) by adding in the beginning :

….اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُعِيذُهُ

and then proceed/continue with the rest of the wording like :

Allahumma Inni Ueezuhu bikalimaatillahit tama min kulli shaytaani wahamma wa min kulliaynin laammah (see the above du`a no. 7)

If you want to recite a du`a for a female (mother, daughter, sister, etc) then

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

O Allah! I seek your protection for her and his progeny from Shaytan the accursed

You can also use these words :

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُعِيذُهَا

And add this to the du`a no. 7 above just like in the case of the men shown above. So it will be :

Allahumma inni Ueezuhabikalimaatillahit tama min kulli shaytaani wahamma wa min kulliaynin laammah (see the above du`a no. 7)

8). أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

A’oodhu bi kalimaatiAllaah hitaammahti min sharri ma khalaq (THRICE)

The Prophet (s.a.w) said: “Whoever stops to rest and says, ‘A’oodhu bi kalimaat Allaah il-taammah min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah from the evil of that which He has created),’ nothing will harm him until he moves on from that place.”
