حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَوْ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ إِذَا أَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنِي الشَّيْطَانَ وَجَنِّبْ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنِي ثُمَّ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَدٌ إِلَّا لَمْ يُسَلَّطْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانُ أَوْ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2597
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: "If one of you - or, if one of them - says, when he has intercourse with his wife, 'In the Name of Allah, O Allah keep the Shaitan away from me and keep the Shaitan away from what You bestow on us (our children)’ if a child is bom to them, the Shaitan will never have power over him - or the Shaitan will never be able to harm him."
