When the people asked him about it after he finished, he said, 'Indeed, it was Shaytan who would throw sparks of fire on me to distract me from my prayer. So I took hold of him, and if I had taken him any longer, he would not have escaped from me until he was tied to one of the pillars of the mosque, and the children of the people of Madinah would look at him."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فَجَعَلَ يَهْوِي بِيَدِهِ قَالَ خَلَفٌ يَهْوِي فِي الصَّلَاةِ قُدَّامَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ الْقَوْمُ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ هُوَ كَانَ يُلْقِي عَلَيَّ شَرَرَ النَّارِ لِيَفْتِنَنِي عَنْ صَلَاتِي فَتَنَاوَلْتُهُ فَلَوْ أَخَذْتُهُ مَا انْفَلَتَ مِنِّي حَتَّى يُنَاطَ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وِلْدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ
