Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Are there any supplications or dhikr that a person can recite to get rid of waswasah?
Answer:
Yes, the dhikr. One seeks refuge from Shaytan if waswasah actually occurs, because it is from Shaytan. So one seeks refuge:[Fussilat 41:36] One seeks refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan and leaves the waswasah alone; it will go away by Allah’s permission. One does not pay attention to it, whether in prayer, in wudu, or in anything else. Yes.

وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
