Is there any speech reported from the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, regarding the wedding night and intercourse between spouses?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Among the etiquettes of the wedding night and marital intimacy are uttering the Basmalah and reciting the prescribed supplication before intercourse, which is: "In the name of Allah, O Allah, keep Shaytan away from us and keep Shaytan away from what You bless us with." It has been authentically narrated in a Hadith that whoever says this and is blessed with a child, Shaytan will not harm that child.
