Is the wording "I seek refuge in Allah from"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for what some scholars said that the phrase "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan" is not the transmitted wording, and that the transmitted wording is "I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the accursed Shaytan," as for this, it has not been transmitted in an authentic hadith, not even in the verse

The Shaykh : but it is agreed upon.

The questioner : And this unites us.

The Shaykh : Allah the Mighty and Majestic says: He seeks refuge in Allah.

The questioner : All right.

The Shaykh : The same verse is the basis of the consensus.

The questioner : In a second verse: He seeks help from Allah, and He seeks Your forgiveness, and He seeks Your forgiveness.

The Shaykh : So he seeks help from Allah, and indeed... and the sky is upon them, correct?

The questioner : And the milk is likewise.

The Shaykh : that says "from the accursed Shaytan"
So when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
[An-Nahl 16:98]
.

The questioner : When we read the hadith, we interpret the verses.

The Shaykh : It does not interpret; it says this is a second aspect.
