Hadiths on Dhikr on Entering and Leaving the Bathroom

This section includes only one hadith, authentic, recorded under number 10571. It teaches the supplication to say upon entering the privy: “Those privies are attended by the devils, so if anyone of you goes to a privy, let him say: I seek refuge with Allah from the male and female devils”. The statement explains the reason for this formula, the presence of invisible creatures in these places, and shows how the Muslim protects himself by the mention of Allah upon entering and leaving.
