"And say, 'My Lord! I seek Your protection from the promptings of devils; and I seek Your protection, my Lord, from their presence near me." ²

(قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ * مَلِكِ النَّاسِ * إِلهِ النَّاسِ * مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْواسِ الْخَنَّاسِ * الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ * مِنَ الجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ) .³

"Say, 'I seek the protection of the Lord of humans, Sovereign of humans, God of humans, from the evil of the sneaky tempter who puts temptations into the breasts of humans, from among the jinn and humans." ⁴
