O Allah , Lord of the seven heavens , Lord of the Magnificent Throne , be for me a support against [such and such a person] and his helpers from among your creatures, lest any of them abuse me or do me wrong.

Allah is the Most Great , Mightier than all His creation . He is Mightier than what I fear and dread. I seek refuge in Allah, Who there is none worthy of worship but Him . He is the One Who holds the seven heavens from falling upon the earth except by His command . [I seek refuge in You Allah] from the evil of Your slave [name of the person], and his helpers, his followers and his supporters from among the jinn and mankind. O Allah, be my support against their evil. Glorious are Your praises and mighty is Your patronage. Blessed is Your Name, there is no true God but You. (Recite three times in Arabic.)
