Verses and Supplications That Repel the Whispers of Satan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What are the supplications and Qur'anic verses that help repel the whispers of Satan?

Answer:
Seek refuge in Allah from Satan. When one feels any of the whispers, he says: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, and he repeats this. When going to sleep, he recites Ayat al-Kursi and
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
[Al-Ikhlas:1] and the two Mu'awwidhat three times, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided. This is among the causes of safety: reciting Ayat al-Kursi when going to sleep and
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
and the two Mu'awwidhat three times when going to sleep, along with seeking refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created. He says:
I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He createdأعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلق
Sunan Abi Dawud 3898Sahih (Al-Albani)
And he says, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say when going to sleep:
Allahumma bismika ahya wa amutاللهم باسمك أحيا وأموت
Sahih al-Bukhari 7394
In Thy name, my mercy on it, but if Thou lettest it go, guard it with that which Thou guardest Thy upright servants.اللهم باسمك ربي وضعت جنبي، وبك أرفعه، إن أمسكت نفسي فارحمها، وإن أرسلتها فاحفظها بما تحفظ به عبادك الصالحين
Sunan Abi Dawud 5050Sahih (Al-Albani)
O Allah, guard me from Thy punishment on the day when Thou raisest up Thy servants.اللهم قني عذابك يوم تبعث عبادك
Sunan Abi Dawud 5045
All of this is recommended when going to sleep. If he lies on his right side while in a state of ritual purity, that is the best.
And he says:
O Allah, by my Lord's name I live and I dieاللهم باسمك ربي أحيا وأموت
or
By my Lord's name I die and I liveباسمك ربي أموت وأحيا
All of this has come
In Thy name, my mercy on it, but if Thou lettest it go, guard it with that which Thou guardest Thy upright servants.اللهم باسمك ربي وضعت جنبي، وبك أرفعه، إن أمسكت نفسي فارحمها، وإن أرسلتها فاحفظها بما تحفظ به عبادك الصالحين
Sunan Abi Dawud 5050Sahih (Al-Albani)
O Allah, guard me from Thy punishment on the day when Thou raisest up Thy servants.اللهم قني عذابك يوم تبعث عبادك
Sunan Abi Dawud 5045
.
And he glorifies, praises, and magnifies Allah thirty-three times each. The magnification is thirty-four times when going to sleep. Subhan Allah thirty-three times, Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and Allahu Akbar thirty-four times. This is the best when going to sleep. Then he comes with Ayat al-Kursi:
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existenceاللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ
[Al-Baqarah:255].
Then he recites:
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
and the two Mu'awwidhat three times. All of this is when going to sleep, and he concludes with his saying:
Allahumma aslamtu nafsi ilaika wa fauwadtu `Amri ilaika, wa wajjahtu wajhi ilaika wa alja'tu zahri ilaika, reghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika. La malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Amantu bikitabikal-ladhi anzalta; wa nabiyyikalladhi arsalta.اللهم أسلمت نفسي إليك، وفوضت أمري إليك، ووجهت وجهي إليك، وألجأت ظهري إليك، رغبة ورهبة إليك، لا ملجأ ولا منجى منك إلا إليك، آمنت بكتابك الذي أنزلت، وبنبيك الذي أرسلت
Sahih al-Bukhari 6313
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to conclude with this, saying:
Make it the last thing you sayاجعلوها آخر ما تقولون
.
Meaning: the last thing when going to sleep:
Allahumma aslamtu nafsi ilaika wa fauwadtu `Amri ilaika, wa wajjahtu wajhi ilaika wa alja'tu zahri ilaika, reghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika. La malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Amantu bikitabikal-ladhi anzalta; wa nabiyyikalladhi arsalta.اللهم أسلمت نفسي إليك، وفوضت أمري إليك، ووجهت وجهي إليك، وألجأت ظهري إليك رغبة ورهبة إليك، لا ملجأ، ولا منجى منك إلا إليك، آمنت بكتابك الذي أنزلت، وبنبيك الذي أرسلت
Sahih al-Bukhari 6313
This is the conclusion when going to sleep. There are books on this... there are composed books. Al-Adhkar by al-Nawawi, and my book in which I have compiled this, which is printed and distributed, Tahfat al-Akhyar fi Bayan al-Ad'iyyah wa al-Adhkar 'Inda al-Nawm wa Ghayr al-Nawm. All... these adhkar are found in it. Tahfat al-Akhyar fi Bayan al-Ad'iyyah wa al-Adhkar, after the prayer, and when going to sleep, in the morning and evening, all of it is mentioned. Al-Adhkar by al-Nawawi, al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib, all of these things are mentioned in them. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
