The aforementioned supplication is among the استحباب (recommended acts) for intercourse and is not obligatory, based on Allah's saying: "And put forth [righteousness] for yourselves," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "If any of you, when coming to his wife, were to say: 'In the name of Allah. O Allah, keep us away from Satan and keep Satan away from what You have provided for us,' and a child is destined between them, Satan will never harm it."
