اللَّهُمَّ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَلِيكَهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشِرْكِهِ
Allahumma 'Alimal-ghaybi wash-shahadah, Fatiras-samawati wal-ard, Rabba kulli shay'in wa malikah, ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Ant, a'udhu bika min sharri nafsi wa min sharrish-Shaytani wa shirkihi
O Allah, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Lord and Sovereign of everything, I bear witness that there is no deity except You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of myself and from the evil of Shaytan and his traps.
The Prophet ﷺ taught Abu Bakr (RA) to say this every morning, evening, and when going to bed. "Shirkihi" — the traps of Shaytan that lead to associating partners with Allah. The du'a names two enemies: your own nafs (self) and the Shaytan. One is internal, one is external — and you need protection from both.
