[Machine] We performed the obligatory prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he folded his hands during the prayer. When he finished the prayer, we said, "O Messenger of Allah, did something new happen in the prayer?" He said, "No, except that Shaytan wanted to pass between my hands, so I choked him until I could feel the coldness of his tongue on my hand. By Allah, if my brother Sulaiman had not preceded me in doing this, I would have tied him to one of the pillars of the Masjid until the children of Madinah circled around him." This incident has passed in the narration of Abu Hurairah, Ibn Mas'ood, and Abu ad-Darda.
صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً مَكْتُوبَةً فَضَمَّ يَدَهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَحْدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدِيَّ فَخَنَقْتُهُ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ لِسَانِهِ عَلَى يَدِيَّ وَايْمُ اللهِ لَوْلَا مَا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانُ لَارْتُبِطَ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يُطِيفَ بِهِ وَلَدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَدْ مَضَى مَعْنَى هَذَا فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ وَفِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ
