O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne. Our Lord and Lord of all things. The One who splits the grain and the date stone. The Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil, and the Furqan. I seek refuge in You from the evil of all things whose forelock You are seizing. I seek refuge in You from the evil of all creatures whose forelock You are seizing. I seek refuge in You from the evil of the ancients and the moderns. And from the evil of all things other than that. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every stubborn tyrant. And from the evil of Satan and his deeds. And from the evil of every polytheist. And from the evil of the day. And from the evil of the night. And from the evil of the day. And from the evil of the night. And from the evil of every evil-doer. O Allah, make me and my offspring among Your pious servants. And among Your loyal soldiers. And among Your successful party. And among Your righteous guardians. And from the eyes of the envious. And from the footsteps of Satan. And from the enemies of the religion. And from the evil of this world and the Hereafter. And from the evil of all bad things.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to seek refuge for Al-Hasan and Al-Husain, saying: "A'udhu bikalimatillahit-tammati min kulli shaytanin wa hammah, wa min kulli 'aynin lammah." Then he would say: "Verily, your father (Prophet Ibrahim) used to seek refuge with them with these words for Isma'il and Ishaq." Then the narrator narrated the lengthy narration that he narrated regarding the lengthy supplication of the Prophet (ﷺ) when he sought refuge for himself: "Allahumma Rabba as-samawati as-sab'i wa Rabba al-'arshil-'adheem.
