Eat seven pressed dates in the morning before eating any food if you can. Dates should preferably be from Al-Madinah. If this is not possible, then eat any pressed dates. The Prophet SAW said, "Whoever eats seven pressed dates every morning before eating any food, will not be affected by poison or sihr!"
Al-Bukhari: 10/249, the Book of Medicine, Chapter: Treatment of sorcery with
'Ajwah.
2 - Al-Wudhu
moves in bed, but that the angel says: 'O Allah! Forgive Your Servant, for he has slept in a clean state."
Transmitted by At-Tabarani in Al-Awsat. According to Al-Mundiri, the chain of
transmission is very good (At-Targhib: 2/13)
Observing salat in congregation secures a Muslim person from Satan, and neglecting it makes Satan dominate him. And if Satan dominates a person, he harms him with sihr and other things which he can easily do. Abu Ad-Darda (RA)
reported: "I heard the Prophet (Peace and Blessing upon Him) say: 'There are not three people in a town or in the countryside who do not observe congregational salat, but that Satan dominates them. Remain with the community, for the wolf seizes the solitary sheep moving away from the flock.'" Al-Bukhari: (Fath Al-Bari 3/34) and Muslim: (An-Nawawi: 6/63).
4 - Qiyyamu Al-layl (Observing optional salat during the night)
Whosoever wishes to protect himself against sihr should observe salat during the night. Neglecting it allows Satan to dominate a man. If he does, then you will make yourself a hotbed for the effect of sihr on you. Ibn Mas'ud (RA) reported: "When the Prophet (Peace and Blessing upon Him) was asked about his opinion of a man who slept until salatul Fajr, without waking up for qiyyamul-layl, he said that Satan urinated in the man's ear.'" Abu Dawud: 1/150 (a sound chain of transmission).
Sa'id Ibn Mansur reported : "Ibn 'Umar (RA) said, 'Not a man wakes up in the morning without having observed salatul-witr, but that a rope measuring approximately seventy cubits will be put over his head in the morning."' According to Al-Hafiz, a very good chain of transmission (Fath: 3/25)
5 - Isti'da - Seeking refuge with Allah ('Azza wa Jalla) upon entering the toilet
A Muslim should seek refuge with Allah ('Azza wa Jalla) upon entering the toilet, because Satan takes advantage of the Muslim's presence in the toilet in order to harm him in this filthy place which is the home of Satanic Jinn. One day, a Jinn informed me that he entered and possessed a person because he did not seek refuge in Allah upon entering the toilet. However, Allah supported me in driving him out of that person.
Furthermore, one Jinn told me that Allah ('Azza wa Jalla) has given us a strong weapon to conquer them, but we do not use it. I asked him what was it, and he said, 'the invocations laid down by the Prophet (Peace and Blessing upon Him).
It is confirmed that the Prophet (Peace and Blessing upon Him) used to say the following invocation upon entering the toilet: "Allahumma inni a'udu bika minal-khubti wal-khba'iti (O Allah! I seek refuge in you from the male female Satans.)" Al-Bukhari. (Fath Al-Bari: 1/292) and Muslim: (An-Nawawi: 4/70)
6 - Seeking refuge with Allah ('Azza wa Jalla) upon starting salat
Jubayr Ibn Mut'im reported: "I saw the Prophet (Peace and Blessing upon Him) say: (Allahu akbaru kabira, walhamdu lillahi kathira, wa subhanallahi bukratan wa asila)
Three times
A'uzu billahi mina shaytani rajimi min nafkhihi wa nafthihi wa hamzihi
(Allah ('Azza wa Jalla) is the Greatest, much Praise be to Allah if, and Glory be to Allah if in the morning and in the evening. I seek refuge with Allah ('Azza wa Jalla) from the Satan's arrogance, poetry, epilepsy and lunacy.) Abu Dawud (1/203); classed by Al-Albani as authentic.
7 - Protecting one's new wife against sihr at the time of marriage
Soon after concluding the marriage contract, put your right hand upon her forehead and say:
Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha wa khayra ma jabaltha 'alayhi, wa a 'uzu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma jabaltha 'alayhi
O Allah! I ask you for any good that may come from her and any good that You have created in her natural disposition, and seek refuge with you from any evil that may come from her, and any evil that You have created in her natural disposition. Abi Dawud; according to Al-Albani, a sound chain of transmission (151)
8 - Initiating Marital Life with Salat
'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said: "On your wedding night; that is on the night when the marriage is to be consummated for the first time; and before intercourse, do two rak'as and ask your wife to follow suit behind you, and say the following invocation:
Allahumma barik li fi ahli, wa barik lahum fiyya, allahumma ijma' bay nana ma jama 'ta bikhayr, wa farriq bay nana iza farraqta bikhayr
O Allah! Make my wife blessed for me and make me blessed for her. O Allah! If You unite us, unite us on what is good, and if you separate us, separate us on what is good.
Transmitted by At-Tabarani, and classed by Al-Albani as authentic.
9 - Protection from the Satan during intercourse
Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported: "The Prophet (Peace and Blessing upon Him) said, 'If you say the following invocation during sexual intercourse, and a baby is conceived, Satan would never harm that baby."
Allahumma jannibna ash-shaytan wa jannibi ash-shytan ma razaqtana
O Allah! Keep us away from Satan, and keep Satan away from any blessing you bestow on us. Al-Bukhari (Fath Al-Bari: 1/291) and Muslim.
One Jinn told me, after his conversion to Islam and repentance, that he used to take part in a man's sexual intercourse with his wife, because that man did not say the above invocation. Glory be to Allah! We have so many valuable treasures but we do not appreciate their value.
10 - Make Wudhu before going to bed, recite Ayatul Kursi
Make Wudhu before going to bed, recite Ayatul Kursi and invoke Allah in bed until you fall asleep. It is confirmed that Satan told Abu Hurayrah (RA): "Whosoever recites Ayatul Kursi before going to bed, he will be guarded by Allah
('Azza wa Jalla) and no Satan will approach him throughout the night." The Prophet (Peace and Blessing upon Him) confirmed the Satan's statement and told Abu Hurayrah "Satan told you the truth, but he is a liar." Al-Bukhari (Fath Al-Bari: 6/338) and Muslim (An-Nawawi: 17/17)
11 - La ilaha illAllah
Say: la ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu lahulmuk wa lahulhamd wa huwwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir 100 times after salatul Fajr.
The Prophet (Peace and Blessing upon Him) said that whosoever says it will have a reward equal to the manumission of 10 slaves, will have ten good deeds added to and ten bad deeds erased from his register, and will be protected by this supplication the Satan throughout the day until the evening. No one is better than he who says this supplication except a man who says more."
12 - Entering the Mosque
A'udu billahi al-' az imi, wa biwajhihi al-karimi, wa sultanihi al-qadimi mina asshaytani ar-rajimi
I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Magnificent, His Face the All-Glorious, and His Sovereignty the All-Antiquated, from Satan the outcast.
It is confirmed that the Prophet entering the mosque said, "Whenever a Muslim says the above invocation, Satan says, 'He is defended against me for the rest of the day.'" Abu Dawud: 1/127
13 - Invocation
Say the following invocation, three times in the morning and three times in the evening:
Bismillahi al-lazi la yadhurru ma'asmihi shay'un filardhi wala fis-sama i wa huwwa as-sami'u al-'alim
In the Name of Allah, with Whose Name nothing harms, on earth and in Heavens, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Aware.) At-Tirmidhi: 5/133
14 - Leaving the house
Upon leaving the house say:
Bismillahi tawakkaltu 'ala Allahi la hawla wala quwwata illa billahi
When you say it, you will be told (without your awareness): "You have been spared, protected and guided" The Satan will keep away from you and will tell another: "What can you do to a man who has been guided, protected and spared?" Abu Dawud: 4/325 and At-Tirmidhi: 5/154.
15 - Say: 'A'uzu bikalimati Allahi at-tammati min sharri ma khalaq
In the morning and in the evening. Muslim: (An-Nawawi: 17/32)
