Authentic hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sahih al-Bukhari 3271

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏

أَمَا إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا أَتَى أَهْلَهُ وَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ، وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا‏.‏ فَرُزِقَا وَلَدًا، لَمْ يَضُرُّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ ‏"

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If anyone of you, when having sexual relation with his wife, say: 'In the name of Allah. O Allah! Protect us from Satan and prevent Satan from approaching our offspring you are going to give us,' and if he begets a child (as a result of that relation) Satan will not harm it."

Explanation in Arabic

الدُّعاء يَصرِفُ البَلاءَ، ويُعتَصَم به مِن نَزَغَاتِ الشَّيطانِ وأَذاه.

وفي هذا الحديثِ يُرشِدُ النَّبيُّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم إلى دُعاءٍ يقولُه الرَّجلُ عندما يُريدُ أنْ يُجامِعَ أهْلَه، فيَقول: «باسمِ اللهِ، اللَّهمَّ جَنِّبْني الشَّيطانَ، وجَنِّبِ الشَّيطانَ ما رزَقْتَنا»، أي: اللهُمَّ باعِدْ بيني وبين الشَّيطانِ، وباعِدْ بينه وبين كُلِّ ما أعطَيْتَنَا إيَّاه في هذه الليلةِ مِن الوَلَدِ، ثُمَّ يُخبِر صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم عن فائدةِ هذا الدُّعاءِ؛ وهي أنَّه لو قَدَّر اللهُ تعالَى ورُزِقَا ولَدًا مِن هذا الجِماعِ؛ فإنَّ ذلك الولدَ يكونُ في عِصمةِ اللهِ مَحفوظًا مِن الشَّيطانِ مُدَّةَ حَياتِه، فلا يَمَسُّه بأذًى، والمقصودُ: عَدَمُ تَسلُّط الشيطانِ عليه بالكُلِّيَّةِ، وأمَّا الوَسْوَسَةُ فإنَّها واقِعةٌ لكلِّ أحدٍ.

وفي الحَديثِ: بيانُ فَضلِ الدُّعاءِ المأثورِ في كُلِّ فِعلٍ، ومنها جماعُ الرَّجُلِ زوجتَه.

وفيه: أنَّ اللهَ سُبحانَه يحفَظُ عِبادَه بما يَدْعون به لأنفُسِهم أو لذُرِّيَّاتِهم.
