﴿ فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ ﴾

“NOW whenever thou happen to read this Qur'an, seek refuge with God from Satan, the accursed.”

(And when thou recitest the Qur'an) so if you want, O Muhammad, to recite the Qur'an at the beginning of the prayer or at any other time, (seek refuge in Allah) say: I seek refuge in Allah (from Satan the outcast) the accursed, the one stoned with a shooting star, the debarred from Allah's mercy.
