Supplication for protection from whispers in the Quran and the prayer

اَعُوْذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed.

After saying this supplication, spit to your left three times

   The background of this hadith is that Uthman bin Abi al-As (RA) mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ the whispers he had in the prayer, and the Prophet ﷺ taught him this. Uthman bin Abi al-As (RA) said: Then I acted on it, and Allah removed this from me.
