بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَعِنَايَتِهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَمَارِدٍ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ الْحَرِّ وَالْبَرْدِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّرِّ كُلِّهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ

In the name of Allah, I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of Satan and his temptations. I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of every devil and rebel. I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of everything that is evil. I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of every creature whose forelock You are seizing. I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of heat and cold. I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of all evil. I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of what descends from the sky and the evil of what ascends into it. I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of what He has created on the earth and the evil of what emerges from it. I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the temptations of night and day. I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of every night visitor, except the one who comes with good, O Most Merciful.
