The parent makes the adhan (call to prayer) in its ear, chews a piece of date and rubs it around the baby's gums, and then makes the following supplication: I take refuge in the perfect words of God, from all devils and harmful animals, and from every evil eye.
“O God! Truly I take refuge in You from incapacity, sloth, cowardice, and decrepitude. I take refuge in You from the punishment of the grave and I take refuge in You from the trial of life and death.” -Prayer to be read at any time
