The Prophet ﷺ would seek protection for al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn, saying:

أُعِيذُكُمَا بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ

U'idhukuma bikalimatillahit-tammati min kulli shaytanin wahammah, wamin kulli 'aynin lammah

I commend you both to the protection of Allah's perfect words, from every devil and every venomous creature, and from every harmful eye.

For one boy say uʿīdhuka (أُعِيذُكَ); for one girl, uʿīdhuki (أُعِيذُكِ); for several boys, uʿīdhukum (أُعِيذُكُمْ); for several girls, uʿīdhukunna (أُعِيذُكُنَّ).
