What is the meaning of “mil’a ma shi’ta min shay’in ba’d” (the fill of whatever You wish of anything thereafter), which is said after rising from rukoo‘ (bowing), and what is the meaning of the word “a‘udhu” in “A‘udhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajeem” (I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan)?
