حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ بَشِيرِ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادٌ الصَّفَّارُ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّصْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " سَتْرُ مَا بَيْنَ أَعْيُنِ الْجِنِّ وَعَوْرَاتِ بَنِي آدَمَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُهُمُ الْخَلَاءَ أَنْ يَقُولَ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَإِسْنَادُهُ لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ الْقَوِيِّ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشْيَاءُ فِي هَذَا .
´Ali bin Abi Talid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that :` the Messenger of Allah said: "The screen between the eyes of the jinns and nakedness of the children of Adam when one of you enters the area of relieving oneself is saying: 'Bismillah.'"

(1)
There is a difference of opinion regarding the authenticity and weakness of this narration.
According to our esteemed researcher Shaykh Ali Zai and another well-known scholar of Sunan Ibn Majah, Dr. Bashar Awwad, it is weak, while according to Ahmad Shakir Misri and Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, it is authentic. (Sunan Ibn Majah, researched by Dr. Bashar Awwad)
(2)
Along with the above-mentioned supplication, one should also say "Bismillah," or recite the supplication after first saying "Bismillah."
(3)
The jinn are hidden from our sight.
To protect ourselves from their evil, we cannot adopt the same methods that we use to protect ourselves from the evil of wicked humans. Therefore, Allah Ta'ala has given us these spiritual means for protection from their mischief.
We should certainly benefit from them.
(4)
By saying "Bismillah," the jinn cannot see a person's private parts.
Just as it is necessary to enter a secluded place to avoid the gaze of humans, similarly, to avoid the gaze of the jinn, saying "Bismillah" is also necessary.
