The question

How should one seek refuge (isti‘adha) and spit lightly (naft) three times in prayer due to excessive whisperings (waswasah): Is it by seeking refuge, then spitting lightly three times consecutively, or by seeking refuge three times, then spitting lightly three times? And is it sufficient to seek refuge only once when whisperings are frequent?

The answer

If you are afflicted by the whisperings of Satan in your prayer, then seek refuge with Allah from Satan three times, and spit lightly to your left three times. Indeed, the Satan entrusted with whispering during prayer is called Khanzab.
