[Machine] I said to Abdurrahman ibn Khanbash Al-Tamimi, who was an old man, "Did you meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied, "Yes." I asked, "What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do on the night when the devils were almost upon him?" He said, "Indeed, the devils gathered around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that night, from valleys and passes, and among them was a devil holding a lit torch, intending to burn the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then Jibril descended to him and said, 'O Muhammad, say.' The Prophet asked, 'What should I say?' Jibril replied, 'Say: I seek refuge in the complete words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, and from the evil that He has descended from the sky, and from the evil that ascends into it, and from the evil of the trials of the day and the night, and from the evil of every knock, except a knock that brings good. O Most Merciful.' So their fire was extinguished, and Allah, blessed and exalted is He, defeated them."
قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ خَنْبَشٍ التَّمِيمِيِّ وَكَانَ كَبِيرًا أَدْرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ كَادَتْهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ تَحَدَّرَتْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَالشِّعَابِ وَفِيهِمْ شَيْطَانٌ بِيَدِهِ شُعْلَةُ نَارٍ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُحْرِقَ بِهَا وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَهَبَطَ إِلَيْهِ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ قَالَ مَا أَقُولُ؟ قَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَذَرَأَ وَبَرَأَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ قَالَ فَطَفِئَتْ نَارُهُمْ وَهَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى
