(CXIII. Place of origin doubtful.)

In the name of the merciful and compassionate God.

Say, ' I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak, from the evil of what He has created ; and from the evil of the night when it cometh on;^[1] and from the evil of the blowers upon knots;^[2] ⁵ and from the evil of the envious when he envies.'

↑ Or, according to a traditional explanation given by the prophet to 'Ayeshah, ' the moon when it is eclipsed. '
↑ Witches who make knots in string and blow upon them, uttering at the same time some magical formula and the name of the persons they wish to injure.
