أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
Meaning: I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the rejected.
A‘udhu means “I seek refuge,” and ar-rajim describes Satan as expelled from divine mercy. The invocation occurs after the opening praise and before Quranic recitation; in the Hanafi method it is read quietly.
