There is no objection to the phrase, as its meaning is correct and has been supported by Quranic verses, such as the Almighty's saying: (And similarly, We have made for every prophet an enemy - devils from mankind and jinn) and (from jinn and mankind). As for seeking refuge during prayer, it is limited to the forms وردed in the Sunnah, such as: "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan" or "I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the accursed Satan, from his madness, his pride, and his poetry."
