Placing a recorder of Qur'an recitation in the delivery room to drive away Satan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is it true that the baby's crying during birth is due to Satan pricking it? And if the answer is yes, is it possible to place a recording device in the delivery room to recite the Noble Qur'an in general, and specifically the surahs: (al-Fatihah, al-Baqarah, and Aal 'Imran), so that the recitation is continuous for 24 hours and during the birth in the room? As you know, your Eminence, that Shayatins, may Allah protect us from them, do not enter places where there is the remembrance of Allah in general, and places where Surah al-Baqarah is recited in particular. And is it possible that if we conduct an experiment, for example, babies would be born without crying? What is the ruling on this? We ask for your guidance, may Allah preserve your Eminence and have mercy on
you and reward you with the best reward for us in this world and the Hereafter.

A: It is reported in (Sahih al-Bukhari ) and (Musnad Imam Ahmad ) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:
Every son of Adam is pricked by Satan with his finger in his side when he is born, except 'Isa ibn Maryam. He went to prick him, but he pricked the veil.كل ابن آدم يطعن الشيطان بأصبعه في جنبه حين يولد إلا عيسى بن مريم ذهب ليطعن فطعن في الحجاب
. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated what prevents the newborn from being harmed by Satan, as reported in ( al-Bukhari ), from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If anyone of you, on having sexual relation with his wife, says: 'O Allah! Protect me from Satan, and prevent Satan from approaching the offspring you are going to give me,' and if it happens that the lady conceives a child, Satan will neither harm it nor be given power over it.لو أن أحدكم إذا أتى أهله قال : اللهم جنبني الشيطان وجنب الشيطان ما رزقتني فإن كان بينهما ولد لم يضره الشيطان ولم يسلط عليه
Sahih al-Bukhari 3283
As for placing a device containing a recording of the Qur'an, it is not prescribed.
