حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَوِّذُ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ فَيَقُولُ أُعِيذُكُمَا بِكَلِمَةِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ هَكَذَا كَانَ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام يُعَوِّذُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَام
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2434
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to seek refuge with Allah for al-Hasan and al Husain, saying: "I seek refuge for you in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and poisonous reptile, and from every envious evil eye." Then he would say: “This is how my father Ibraheem used to seek refuge for Isma'eel and Ishaq (RA)."
