Question:
The supplication:
If anyone of you has intercourse with his wife إذا أتى أحدكم أهله...
Sunan Ibn Majah 587Sahih (Darussalam)
Does he say it to himself?

Answer:
Yes... she hears it, and she says it afterwards, all of them:
In the name of Allah. O Allah! Protect us from Satan and also protect what you bestow upon us (i.e. the coming offspring) from Satanبسم الله، اللهم جنبنا الشيطان وجنب الشيطان ما رزقتنا
Sahih al-Bukhari 141
and the woman says it as well.
Q: Does he say it if he intends to practice coitus interruptus?
The Shaykh: He says it even if he intends to practice coitus interruptus, as the semen may precede him and he may not achieve what he desires.
Q: But what does he say to himself?
The Shaykh: No, he does not speak.
