Sahih al-Bukhari 3271 (Book 59, Hadith 81) #3128
Invoking Allah's Name for Protection from Satan

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that if a person invokes Allah's name while engaging in sexual relations with their spouse, then any offspring they have will be protected from Satan.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet 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".
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 قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَمَا إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا أَتَى أَهْلَهُ وَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ، وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا‏.‏ فَرُزِقَا وَلَدًا، لَمْ يَضُرُّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ

Invoke Allah’s Name Before Engaging In Intimate Acts With Your Spouse

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of invoking Allah's name when engaging in sexual relations with one's spouse. It is believed that by doing so, any offspring they have will be protected from the influence of Satan. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to 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," before engaging in such an intimate act as a way to seek protection and guidance from God Almighty. By doing this we can ensure that our children are safe and secure under His watchful eye. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about the power of faith and prayer; it shows how even something as simple as saying a few words can make all the difference in protecting ourselves and our families against evil forces like Satan.
