Du’a for warding off whispers

According to the schedule of the weekly Sunnah-inspired Ijtima’ of Da’wat-e-Islami, ‘The Du’a for warding off whispers’ will be learnt. The Du’a is as follows:

اَللہُ اَحَدٌ اَللہُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ یَلِدْ وَ لَمْ یُوۡلَدْ وَ لَمْ یَکُنۡ لَّہٗ کُفُوًا اَحَدٌ اَ عُوْذُ بِاللہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِیْمِ

Translation: Allah is One. ‘Allah is the Independent.’ ‘He has no children, nor is He born from anyone.’ ‘And there is no one equal to Him.’ I seek refuge of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ from cursed Satan.

Dear Islamic brothers! Whenever a whisper enters the heart whether it be in relation to beliefs or actions recite this Du’a till ‘کُفُوً ااَحَدٌ’, and then spit three times to the left, then recite اَعُوْذُباﷲ. When one recites the Du’a before spitting, then all of those evil whispers regarding beliefs will come to an end, because there is mention of the Oneness and Independence of Allah Almighty in this. When he recites Ta’awwuz (i.e. اَعُوْذُبِاللہ), then all of those whispers regarding actions will come to an end. (Khazeena-e-Rahmat, p. 54)
