Source: Sahih al-Bukhari #6322The bathroom is considered a place where evil beings (shayatin) gather. By reciting هذا الدعاء, the believer seeks Allah's protection before entering. The addition of 'Bismillah' serves as a veil between the person and the jinn. النبي (صلى الله عليه وسلم) never entered the bathroom without this الدعاء.
