darimi:748Yaḥyá b. Ḥassān > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Suhayl b. Abū Ṣāliḥ from his father > Abū Hurayrah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If any one of you offers prayer and feels a movement between his paddocks, but is doubtful whether or not his ablution broke, he should not cease praying unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 177)   

الدارمي:٧٤٨أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ حَرَكَةً فِي دُبُرِهِ فَأَشْكَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَحْدَثَ أَوْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ فَلَا يَنْصَرِفَنَّ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيحًا»

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Verily, Satan comes to one of you while he is in prayer and takes a strand of hair from the back of his head and extends it, making him think that he has changed. He does not leave until he hears a sound or finds a scent."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one of you is in prayer and feels movement in his behind, whether intentional or unintentional, he should not leave his prayer until he hears a sound or finds a smell. This is evidence that he should leave if he hears a sound or finds a smell, there is no difference between whether it was deliberate, a mistake, or a previously passed wind. Allah knows best."
