Placing children under Allaah’s protection

Placing children under Allaah’s protection

The Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallem) used to seek refuge for Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn and say:

أُعيـذُكُمـا بِكَلِـماتِ اللهِ التّـامَّة، مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْـطانٍ وَهـامَّة، وَمِنْ كُـلِّ عَـيْنٍ لامَّـة

U’eedhukuma bi kalimaat Allaah At-taammati min kulli shaytaanin wa haammah wa min kulli ‘aynin laammah

(I seek refuge for you both in the perfect words of Allaah, from every shaytaan and every poisonous reptile, and from every ‘ayn).

At-Tirmidhi, 2060; Abu Dawood, 4737.
And he would say,

“Thus Ibraaheem used to seek refuge with Allaah for Ishaaq and Ismaa’eel, (‘Alaihumaa Salaam).”
