'Yahdikumullah wa yuslih balakum.' (May Allah give you guidance and improve your condition.)" Upon Going To Sleep He (SAW) said to Ali (R) and Fatimah (R): “When you go to bed say ﺍﷲ ﺎ ﹶﻥ َ ﺤ ْ ﺒ ُ ﺳ ‘SubhanAllah’ (Glory be Allah) thirty-three times, ﷲ ُ ﺪ ْ ﻤ َ ﺍﹾﻟﺤ ‘Alhamdulillah’ (praise is to Allah) thirty-three times, and ﺮ َ ﹶﺃ ﹾﻛﺒ ُ ﺍﷲ َ ‘AllahuAkbar’ (Allah is Great) thirty four times.” Ali said, “I never stopped doing that since I heard it.” Upon Getting Angry Once two persons abused each other in the presence of the Prophet (S) and the eyes of one of them became red and the veins in his neck were swollen. Thereupon the Prophet (S) said: "I know of a wording that if he were to utter, his fit of rage would subside. If he says, ِﱠ يْطَان الش َمِن ِ ﱠ Ϳ بِا ُأَعُوْذ ِ ﱠ جِيْم الر 'Aootho bilahee mina shaytaan irajeem.' (I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed.)…his anger would subside.” "Anger comes from the devil, the devil was created of fire, and fire is extinguished only with water; so when one of you becomes angry, he should perform ablution." What To Say Before Marital Relations (Sexual Intimacy) "If any one of you, before having sexual intercourse with his wife, says: َ ﱠ يْطَان الش ﱢ بْنَا جَن ﱠ ﱠ ھم الل ِ ﱠ ﷲ ِ،بِسْم رَزَقْتَنَا مَا َﱠ يْطَان الش ِﱢب وَجَن 'Bismillah. Allahumma jannibnash shaitaana, wa jannibish shaitaana ma razaqtana.' (In the Name of Allah. O Allah, protect me from Satan, and protect what you bestow on us [i.e. offspring] from Satan.) And if it is destined that they should have a child, then Satan will never be able to harm that child.") Supplication for Riding (or Transportation) Whenever the Prophet (S) mounted his camel he said, ﹺﻢ ْ ﹺﺑﺴ ﺍﻟ ُ ﺳ ﷲ، ُ ﺪ ْ ﺍ ﹶﳊﻤ َ ﻭ ِ ﻠﱠﻪ ْ ﺒ َ ﺤﺎ ﹶﻥ ﺍ ﻱ ِ ﻟﱠﺬ َ ﻫ ﺎ َ ﹶﻟﻨ َ ﺨﱠﺮ َ ﺳ ﹸﻛ ﺎ َ ﻣ َ ﻭ ﻨﱠ ﹶﻟﻪ ﹶﺬﺍ ﺎ ُُ ُ ﻣ ﹾﻘ ﹺﺮ ،َ ﻦ ْ ﹺﻧﻴ ﹺﺇ َ ﻭ ﻧﱠﺎ ُ ﹶﻟﻤ ﺎ َ ﺑﱢﻨ َ ﺭ ﹺﺇﹶﻟﻰ ْ ﻨ ﹶﻥ، ْ ﻮ ُ ﺒ ِ ﻘﹶﻠ ﺍ ،ِ ﷲ ُ ﺪ ْ ﹶﳊﻤ ﺍ ،ِ ﷲ ُ ﺪ ْ ﺍ ﹶﳊﻤ ،ِ ﷲ ُ ﺪ ْ ﺍﻟ ﹶﳊﻤ ،ُ ﺮ َ ﹶﺃ ﹾﻛﺒ ُ ﻠﱠﻪ ﺍﻟ ُ ﻠﱠﻪ ،ُ ﺮ َ ﹶﺃ ﹾﻛﺒ ﺍﻟ ُ ﺳ ،ُ ﺮ َ ﹶﺃ ﹾﻛﺒ ُ ﻠﱠﻪ ْ ﺒ َ ﻚ َ ﺎﻧ َ ﺍﻟﻠﱠﻬﻢﱠ ﺤ ﹺﺇﻧﱢ ﻲ ُ ﺮ ِ ﻔ ْ ﻐ َ ﻳ ﻻ ُ ﹶﻓﹺﺈﻧﱠﻪ ﻲ، ِ ﻟ ْ ﺮ ِ ﹶﻓﺎ ﹾﻏﻔ ﻲ ِ ﹾﻔﺴ َ ﻧ ُ ﺖ ْ ﹶﻇﹶﻠﻤ ﺍﻟ ﹶﺃ ﹺﺇﻻﱠ َ ﺏ ْ ﻮ ُ ﱡﺬﻧ ْ ﻧ َ ﺖ .

(B & M) After Leaving The Restroom When the Prophet (S) came out of the bathroom (toilet), he used to say: َ ﻚ َ ﺍﻧ َ ﹸﻏ ﹾﻔﺮ "Ghufraanak."
