Saying “In the name of Allah” in every situation and at intercourse
يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا أَتَى أَهْلَهُ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا. فَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَدٌ، لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ ".

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،
Translation
Ibn Abbas reported, tracing it back to the Prophet ﷺ, that he said, “If one of you, when he goes to his wife, were to say, ‘In the name of Allah. O Allah, keep Satan away from us and keep Satan away from what You grant us,’ and then a child were decreed for them, he would not harm it.”
Translator’s note: “Goes to his wife” is a euphemism for marital intercourse.

Ibn Abbas berichtete, indem er es auf den Propheten ﷺ zurückführte, dass er sagte: „Wenn einer von euch, wenn er zu seiner Frau geht, sagen würde: ‚Im Namen Allahs. O Allah, halte den Satan von uns fern und halte den Satan von dem fern, was Du uns gewährst‘, und ihnen dann ein Kind bestimmt würde, so würde er ihm nicht schaden.“
Translator’s note: „Zu seiner Frau gehen“ umschreibt den ehelichen Verkehr.
