19. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered Al-Khalâ' (the toilet) and said: 'Allâhumma inni a'ûthu bika min al-khubuthi wal-khabâ'ith (O Allâh, I seek refuge with You from male and female devils).'"[1] (Sahîh)
19 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " إِذَا دَخَلَ الْخَلَاءَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخُبُثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ "

1. Entering denotes intent to enter, as is explained in a narration that is related in Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, (Hadîth 142). Therefore, this supplication should be uttered before one enters the toilet. 2. Khubith and Khabâ'ith may mean filth, unclean habits, or foul deeds. The two words, however, may also refer to male and female devils, respectively.
