English translation
4. Anas bin Mālik narrated that whenever the Messenger of Allāh entered the area in which he relieved himself, he would say — according to the narration of Hammād —: “Allāhumma innī a’ūdhu bika... (O Allāh! Indeed I seek refuge in You...)” — and he said: “from ‘Abdul-Wārīth: ‘A’ūdhu billāhi min al-khubuthī wal-khabā’ith (I seek Allāh’s refuge from all devils, male and female.)” — Abū Dāwūd said: Shu’bah reported it from ‘Abdul-‘Azīz: “Allāhumma innī a’ūdhu bika (O Allāh! Indeed I seek refuge in You)” and he said one time: ‘A’ūdhu billāhi (I seek Allāh’s refuge...)” and Wuhaib said: “Then let him seek refuge in Allāh...” (Ṣāḥih)
