3492. Shakal bin Humaid said: "I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, teach me a way of seeking refuge so that I may seek refuge by it.'" He said: "So he took my hand and said: 'Say: O Allāh, indeed I seek refuge in You from the evil of my hearing and the evil of my sight, and the evil of my tongue and the evil of my heart, and the evil of my semen (Allāhumma Innī A'ūdhu Bika Min Sharri Sam'ī Wa Min Sharri Baṣārī, Wa Min Sharri Lisānī, Wa Min Sharri Qalbī, Wa Min Sharri Maniyyī)." That is: From his private part.[1] (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb, we do not know of it except through this route, as a narration of Sa'd bin Aws, from Bilāl bin Yahyā.

٣٤٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَعْدُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ ، عَنْ ‌بِلَالِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَبْسِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌شُتَيْرِ بْنِ شَكَلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ‌شَكَلِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ: «أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلِّمْنِي تَعَوُّذًا أَتَعَوَّذُ بِهِ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ بِكَفِّي فَقَالَ: قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ سَمْعِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ بَصَرِي»، وَمِنْ شَرِّ لِسَانِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ قَلْبِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَنِيِّي، يَعْنِي فَرْجَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ يَحْيَى.

Commentary

Evil of the tongue, sight, and hearing and sexual urge is their wrong use. It is their use in a way which causes Allāh's punishment and torment.
