Official Transcript (English)
The newborn cries because the Shaytan (Satan) pokes them in their side. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'There is no child born except that the Shaytan touches him, and he starts crying because of the Shaytan's touch, except for the son of Maryam and his mother.' Then Abu Hurairah said: 'Recite if you wish: {And I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allah].}' (Agreed upon).
الجواب الكامل (باللغة العربية)
يصرخ لأنَّ الشَّيطان يضربه في جنبه، قال رسول الله ﷺ: «ما من مولود يولد إلَّا نخسه الشَّيطان، فيستهل صارخًا من نخسة الشَّيطان، إلَّا ابن مريم وأمَّه» ثمَّ قال أبو هريرة: اقرءوا إن شئتم: {وَإِنِّي سَمَّيۡتُهَا مَرۡيَمَ وَإِنِّيٓ أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيم}. (متَّفق عليه).
