[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."  

الحاكم:٧٥١٤ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْمَحْبُوبِيُّ ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ قَالَ

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

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.
