Importance of the supplication of intercourse

A question that was asked to Shaykh Saalih al Fouzaan may Allah preserve him:

Question: Oh noble Shaykh, is it true that the shaytaan has intercourse with the women if the man doesn't seek refuge with Allah from the outcast shaytaan?

Answer: I don't know about this, however he harms the child, he affects the child(negatively) , because in the hadeeth the messenger says: So if it is decreed between them to have a child then the shaytaan will not harm him. So the danger is if one leaves off saying "in the name of Allah" the shaytaan harms the child, as for him having intercourse with the women Allah knows best I don't know na'am.

Footnote:# Hadith of ibn `Abbas in Sahih Bukhari(397) and Muslim(2591) .
