Messenger of Allah, the Satan intervenes between me and my prayer and my reciting of the Qur'an and he confounds me. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:, That is (the doing of a) Satan (devil) who is known as Khinzab, and when you perceive its effect, seek refuge with Allah from it and spit three times to your left. I did that and Allah dispelled that from me.  

أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ صَلاَتِي وَقِرَاءَتِي يَلْبِسُهَا عَلَىَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاكَ شَيْطَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ خِنْزِبٌ فَإِذَا أَحْسَسْتَهُ فَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ وَاتْفِلْ عَلَى يَسَارِكَ ثَلاَثًا قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed Shaytan has come between me and my prayers and recitations." He said, "Indeed, that is a Shaytan called Khinzab. When you feel his presence, seek refuge in Allah from him and turn your head slightly to your left." He said, "So I did as he instructed, and Allah relieved me from him."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ صَلَاتِي وَقِرَاءَتِي فَقَالَ «إِنَّ ذَلِكَ شَيْطَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ خَنْزَبٌ فَإِذَا أَحْسَسْتَهُ فَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ وَاتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ» قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ فَأَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنِّي  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the state of Satan between me and my prayers and recitation?" The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to him, "That is Satan called Khanzab. When you feel his presence, seek refuge in Allah from Satan and spit to your left side."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ صَلَاتِي وَقِرَاءَتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاكَ الشَّيْطَانُ يُقَالُ لَهُ خَنْزَبٌ فَإِذَا حَسَسْتَهُ فَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَاتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ  

"قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ حَالَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ صَلاتِى، وَقِرَاءتِى يُلْبِّسُها عَلَىَّ، فَقَالَ: ذَلِكَ شَيْطَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ خَنْزَبُ، فَإِذَا أَحْسَسْتَ بِهِ فَاتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ ثَلاثَا وَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِن شَرِّهِ".
