ahmad:25227

[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: Seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaytan, from his whispering, blowing, and spitting. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is his whispering, blowing, and spitting?" He said, "As for his whispering, it is death that seizes the children of Adam. As for his blowing, it is arrogance. And as for his spitting, it is poetry."

[Machine] He heard Abu Umamah al-Bahili say: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he entered the night prayer, would say the takbeer (Allahu Akbar) three times, and then say the tasbeeh (Subhanallah) three times, and then say the tahleel (La ilaha illallah) three times. Afterwards, he would say, 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the accursed devil, from his whisperings, his blowing, and his evil influence.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to say in his prayer and in the hadith of Waraqah, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , taught us to say, 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the accursed Satan, his whispers, his blowing, and his spitting.' Ata' said, 'His whispering is death, his spitting is poetry, and his blowing is arrogance.' Hammad ibn Salamah narrated this from Ata' and stopped at this point."
