بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

﴿قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ۝١ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ ۝٢ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ۝٣ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ ۝٤﴾

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ ۝١ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ۝٢ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ۝٣ وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ ۝٤ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ ۝٥﴾

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ۝١ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ ۝٢ إِلَهِ النَّاسِ ۝٣ مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ ۝٤ الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ ۝٥ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ ۝٦﴾

Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi. Qul huwa Allahu ahadun. Allahu alssamadu. Lam yalid walam yooladu. Walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahadun. Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi. Qul aʿoothu birabbi alfalaqi. Min sharri ma khalaqa. Wamin sharri ghasiqin itha waqaba. Wamin sharri alnnaffathati fee alʿuqadi. Wamin sharri hasidin itha hasada. Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi. Qul aʿoothu birabbi alnnasi. Maliki alnnasi. Ilahi alnnasi. Min sharri alwaswasi alkhannasi. Allathee yuwaswisu fee sudoori alnnasi. Mina aljinnati wa alnnasi.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Say, He is Allah, [who is] One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born. Nor is there to Him any equivalent. In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak. From the evil of that which He created. And from the evil of darkness when it settles. And from the evil of the blowers in knots. And from the evil of an envier when he envies. In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind. The Sovereign of mankind. The God of mankind. From the evil of the retreating whisperer. Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind. From among the jinn and mankind.

Once after every prayer (Sunan Abi Dawud 1523). Hisn al-Muslim adds: three times after the Fajr and Maghrib prayers.
