The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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.”

যায়িদ ইবনু আরক্বাম (রাঃ) সূত্র থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে বর্ণনা করেছেন। তিনি বলেন, সাধারণতঃ পায়খানার স্থানে শয়তান এসে থাকে। সুতরাং তোমাদের কেউ পায়খানায় প্রবেশকালে যেন বলেঃ ‘‘আমি আল্লাহর কাছে শাইত্বান ও যাবতীয় অপবিত্রতা হতে আশ্রয় চাইছি।’’[1] সহীহ; ইবনু মাজাহ- ২৯৬।

زید بن ارقم رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا قضائے حاجت ( پیشاب و پاخانہ ) کی یہ جگہیں جن اور شیطان کے موجود رہنے کی جگہیں ہیں، جب تم میں سے کوئی شخص بیت الخلاء میں جائے تو یہ دعا پڑھے «أعوذ بالله من الخبث والخبائث» میں اللہ کی پناہ چاہتا ہوں ناپاک جن مردوں اور ناپاک جن عورتوں سے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Amru bin Marzuq] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Qatadah] dari [an Nadhr bin Anas] dari [Zaid bin Arqam] dari Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Sesungguhnya tempat buang hajat itu dihadiri oleh setan-setan, maka apabila salah seorang dari kalian mendatangi WC, hendaklah dia mengucapkan; 'Aku berlindung kepada Allah dari setan jantan dan setan betina

What it means

The place where one relieves himself (privy) is attended by the Jinn and the devils who wait there to inflict harm and trouble on humans. A privy is a place where one's private parts are uncovered, and the name of Allah is not mentioned. So, when a Muslim goes there, he should say this supplication: I seek refuge with Allah from the males and females from among the devils.
