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 rank of the messenger of Allah ﷺ , it became clear that his mount stumbled. So he said, "May Satan be cursed." The messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not say, 'May Satan be cursed,' for if you say, 'May Satan be cursed,' he becomes more arrogant. I seized him with my strength, and when the phrase 'In the name of Allah' is said, he becomes humiliated until he becomes like a fly."

عَنْ رَدِيفِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ عَثَرَتْ بِهِ دَابَّتُهُ فَقَالَ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُلْ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ قُلْتَ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ تَعَاظَمَ وَقَالَ بِقُوَّتِي صَرَعْتُهُ وَإِذَا قِيلَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَنَسَ 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) ".
