Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The veil between the eyes of the jinn and the private parts of the children of Adam when one of them enters the lavatory is to say: 'In the name of Allah.'" [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, who said: "This is a strange hadith, and its chain of narration is not strong]
Ali al-Qari said: "Despite this, it is acted upon in matters of virtuous deeds, especially since [Narrated by Ahmad and al-Nasa'i from him, and al-Tabarani narrated something similar from Anas."
