Prayer before Sexual Intercourse

Keep Satan away from your future child by this prayer:

The Prophet (a) ordered Ali b. Abi Ṭalib (a): “Dear Ali! Whenever you have intercourse with your spouse, say,

"اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنِي الشَّيْطَانَ وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنِي."

‘O God keep me away from Satan and keep away Satan from what You have given me.’

Therefore, if a child is conceived, Satan will not harm him.”
