When such whispers come, seek refuge in Allah and stop there, and say: “I believe in Allah and His messengers.” Then say:

اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ، اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ، لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

Allahu ahad, Allahus-samad, lam yalid walam yulad, walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad

Allah is One. Allah is the Self-Sufficient, on whom all depend. He neither begets nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable to Him.

Then spit lightly to your left three times and seek refuge in Allah from Satan.
