Context
WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī from Ibn ‘Abbās
who reported that the Messenger of Allah
used to seek protection for Ḥasan and Ḥusayn, saying: “I seek protection for the two of you with the perfect words of Allah from every shayṭān and poisonous thing, and from the evil eye.” He
also said: “Verily your father [Ibrāhīm] used to seek protection by it for Ismā‘īl and Isḥāq.” [1].
