1. That is why the Prophet ﷺ emphasized that the beginning of every important task should be done with the name of Allah, that is, by reciting Bismillah, because the remembrance of Allah is something that drives away Shaytan. That is why He also used to supplicate this dua. (اللَّھُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَعُوذُبِکَ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ وَ اَعُوذُبِکَ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ ، و اَعُوذُبِکَ اَنْ یَّتَخَبَّطَنِیْ الشَّیْطَانُ عِنْدَالمُوْتِ) (Abu Dawood)
