Those privies are attended by the devils, so if anyone of you goes to a privy, let him say: I seek refuge with Allah from the male and female devils
Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Those privies are attended by the devils, so if anyone of you goes to a privy, let him say: I seek refuge with Allah from the male and female devils."

The place where one relieves himself (privy) is attended by the Jinn and the devils who wait there to inflict harm and trouble on humans. A privy is a place where one's private parts are uncovered, and the name of Allah is not mentioned. So, when a Muslim goes there, he should say this supplication: I seek refuge with Allah from the males and females from among the devils.
