Summary
Based on a hadith in al-Bukhari narrated by Anas bin Malik, the Prophet SAW recited a supplication seeking refuge in Allah from male and female devils when entering the toilet. The article also explains the definition of the devil, several names of devils mentioned in hadith, and the meaning and wording of isti'azah. The hadith about al-Walahan is graded weak by al-Tirmidhi.
