Meaning
“I place you both in the protection of the perfect words of Allah, from every devil and every harmful creature, and from every evil eye.”
The Prophet ﷺ said this for his grandsons Ḥasan and Ḥusayn. For one child say أُعِيذُكَ (u-'ee-dhu-ka) for a boy or أُعِيذُكِ (u-'ee-dhu-ki) for a girl; for more than two, أُعِيذُكُمْ (u-'ee-dhu-kum).
