Dua of Protection for Children

Recited by parents over their children — often read before sleep or before the child leaves home. The Prophet ﷺ recited this for Hasan and Husain.

أُعِيذُكُمَا بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ، مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ

Transliteration

U'idzukuma bi kalimatillahit-tammati, min kulli syaithanin wa hammah, wa min kulli 'ainin lammah

I seek protection for you both with the perfect words of Allah, from every devil and venomous creature, and from every evil eye.
