As-salaamu alaykum,
One of my great teachers, Shaykh Waleed Basyouni (may Allah protect him) and his friend were spending some time reading Quran over someone who was possessed with jinn. Subsequently, by the will of Allah, the brother who was possessed had been cured. As the three of them were walking, Shaykh Waleed suddenly said that he heard a lash, as if someone was struck with a whip, and the brother who had been possessed jumped a few steps forward. Shaykh Waleed immediately rushed to the brother and uncovered his back. He found a mark on his back due to the hit that he heard. (Note that the brother had been with the Shaykh for at least the last 24 hours, which allowed Shaykh Waleed to confirm that this mark was due to the hit he just heard.)
The Shaykh had recognized how angry the jinn was after the man was freed from them and later on as the brother was possessed once again and Shaykh Waleed continued to recite Quran on the brother, he spoke to the jinn and asked if it was them who had struck the brother on his back. The jinn said yes and when the Shaykh asked why, the jinn responded with a strange voice stating that he hated the man and was so angry. The Shaykh asked the jinn why he did not hit him and his friend Adel as they had been nearby. The jinn replied that he had wished to do the same to them but was unable to because the Shoyoukh had said a dua for protection during the day, which made the jinn unable to reach or harm them.
Subhana Allah. What was the dua?
I was blessed to see Shaykh Waleed Basyouni after and he told me the dua’a that he had read and that helped protect him by the will of Allah. This is what he said –
Rasoola Allah taught us to recite several dua’as and supplications, whereby we can gain the protection of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala from all evil. He said in this authentic hadith in Saheeh ibn Majah:
Allahu akbar!
Remember to recite this 3 times in the morning and 3 times in the evening for protection from all evil.
Bismillaahil-lathi la yaDorro ma’asmehe shay’on feel-ArDe wala fees-samaa’ wa who-wa As-samee’o Al-Aleem.
