I was riding on a mount behind the prophet (May peace be upon him). It stumbled. Thereupon I said: May the devil perish! He said: do not say; may the devil perish! For you say that, he will swell so much so that he will be like a house, and say: by my power. But say: in the name of Allah; for when you say that, he will diminish so much so that he will be like a fly.

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَثَرَتْ دَابَّتُهُ فَقُلْتُ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ لاَ تَقُلْ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ تَعَاظَمَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيَقُولَ بِقُوَّتِي وَلَكِنْ قُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ تَصَاغَرَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مِثْلَ الذُّبَابِ

[Machine] From the companion of the Prophet ﷺ or from a man from the companion of the Prophet ﷺ , that he was riding on a donkey and stumbled. So he said (to the donkey), "May the devil be cursed!" (The Prophet) said, "Do not say, 'May the devil be cursed,' for if you say, 'May the devil be cursed,' he becomes greater. Instead, say, 'In the name of Allah,' and he will be minimized until he becomes like a fly."

عَنْ رِديفِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَوْ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ رِدْفِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ فَعَثَرَ فَقَالَ الَّذِي خَلْفَهُ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ لَا تَقُلْ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ تَعَاظَمَ وَقَالَ بِعِزَّتِي صَرَعْتُكَ وَإِذَا قُلْتَ بِسْمِ اللهِ تَصَاغَرَ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ ذُبَابٍ

[Machine] From the Prophet's companion, who said: Shu'bah or Asim reported from Abu Tamimah, who reported from a man, who reported from the Prophet that his donkey stumbled. So I said, "May the devil be cursed." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not curse the devil, for when you curse him, he becomes more arrogant. Instead, say, 'In the name of Allah,' and he will shrink until he becomes like a fly."

عَنْ رَدِيفِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَوْ قَالَ عَاصِمٌ عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ رَدِيفِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ عَثَرَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِمَارُهُ فَقُلْتُ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا تَقُلْ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ تَعَاظَمَ وَقَالَ بِقُوَّتِي صَرَعْتُهُ وَإِذَا قُلْتَ بِسْمِ اللهِ تَصَاغَرَ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ الذُّبَابِ

[Machine] "I was a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and our camel stumbled. I said, 'May the Shaytan be cursed.' The Prophet ﷺ said to me, 'Do not curse the Shaytan, for he becomes arrogant and powerful when you do so, until he becomes the size of a housefly. Instead, say Bismillah (in the name of Allah). When you say Bismillah, he diminishes in size until he becomes like a tiny fly.'"

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَثَرَ بَعِيرُنَا فَقُلْتُ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا تَقُلْ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتَعْظِمُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيَقْوَى وَلَكِنْ قُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا قُلْتَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَصَاغَرَ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ الذُّبَابِ

[Machine] I was accompanying the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when our camel stumbled, so I said, "May the devil be cursed!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not say, 'May the devil be cursed,' for he becomes proud until he becomes as great as a house, and he says with pride, 'By my power.' Instead, say, 'In the name of Allah,' for he will become as small as a fly."

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَثَرَ بَعِيرُنَا فَقُلْتُ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُلْ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْظُمُ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيَقُولَ بِقُوَّتِي قُلْ بِسْمِ اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَصِيرُ مِثْلَ الذُّبَابِ

"لا تَقُلْ: تَعسَ الشَّيْطَانُ، فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلتَ ذَلِكَ تَعَاظمَ؛ فَإنَّهُ يعظُمُ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ البَيْتِ، وَيَقُول: بقوَّتِى صَرَعْتُهُ، وَلكِنْ قُلْ: بِسْم اللهِ، فَإِئكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ تَصَاغر حَتَّى يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ الذبابِ (فِيمَنْ عَثَرَ) ".
