Sunan Abi Dawud 6 (Book 1, Hadith 6) #20297
Seeking Refuge in Allah from Devils

SUMMARY: When going to the restroom, one should seek refuge in Allah from male and female devils.

Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: The Messenger of Allah said: These privies are frequented by the Jinns and devils. So when anyone amongst you goes there, he should say: "I seek refuge in Allah from male and female devils".
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْحُشُوشَ مُحْتَضَرَةٌ فَإِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْخَلاَءَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْخُبُثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Seek protection/refuge before entering a restroom

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about seeking protection from male and female devils when going to the restroom. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when we go to the restroom, we should say “I seek refuge in Allah from male and female devils”. This is because restrooms are frequented by jinns and demons, so it is important for us to protect ourselves by seeking refuge in Allah. We can do this by saying a simple prayer asking for protection before entering the restroom. By doing this, we will be safe from any harm that may come our way while using the toilet.

This hadith teaches us an important lesson about protecting ourselves at all times, even when doing something as mundane as using the toilet. It also reminds us of how powerful our words can be; just a few words of prayer can help keep us safe from harm’s way!
