Explanation of the Book of Tawhid-07a

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, saying: Jarir narrated to us from Mansur from Salim from Kuraib from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If anyone of you, when intending to have a sexual relation (sleep) with his wife, says: Bismillah, Allahumma jannibna ashShaitan, wa Jannib ash-Shaitana ma razaqtana, Satan would never harm that child, should it be ordained that they will have one. لو أن أحدكم أراد أن يأتي أهله فقال باسم الله اللهم جنبنا الشيطان وجنب الشيطان ما رزقتنا فإنه إن يقدر بينهما ولد في ذلك لم يضره شيطان أبدا
Sahih al-Bukhari 7396
.

The Shaykh : This is regarding the invocation in the name of Allah when one intends to approach his wife; this is an euphemism for intercourse. So he said:
In the name of Allah,0 Allah protect us against Satan and keep away the Satan from the one that you have bestowed upon us, and if He has ordained a male child for them باسم الله اللهم جنبنا الشيطان وجنب الشيطان ما رزقتنا فإنه إن يقدر بينهما ولد
Sahih Muslim 1434a
whether male or female
through that في ذلك
in that intercourse for which this dhikr was mentioned:
Satan will never harm it لم يضره الشيطان أبدا
Bulugh al-Maram 8:65
The scholars differed regarding his statement:
Satan will never harm it لم يضره الشيطان أبدا
Bulugh al-Maram 8:65
This child who is born after this dhikr and cause may have a barrier that prevents the cause from taking effect and the effect from occurring. And this is the opinion.
