Nasihah (Advice): Dua at the time of conjugal relations

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbaas Radhiyallahu Anhu reports that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: “If anyone of you, on having conjugal relations with his wife, says: “(O Allah!) Protect me from Shaitaan, and prevent Shaitaan from (harming) the offspring you are going to give me.” and if it happens that a child is conceived, Shaitaan will neither harm it nor be given power over it.” (Bukhari)
