Riyad as-Salihin, 1445
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If anyone intends to have (sexual intercourse) with his wife, he should say: "Bismillah! Allahumma janibnash-Shaitana, wa jannibish-Shaitana ma razaqtana (In the Name of Allah, O Allah! Keep us away from Satan and keep Satan away from what You have bestowed upon us);' and if Allah has ordained a child for them, Satan will never harm him." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
لو أن أحدكم إذا أتى أهله قال: بسم الله، اللهم جنبنا الشيطان وجنب الشيطان ما رزقتنا، فقضى بينهما ولد لم يضره
((متفق عليه)).
