ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ إِبَاحَةِ دُعَاءِ الْمَرْءِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ بِمَا لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood praying, and we heard him say: 'I seek refuge with Allah from you.' Then he said: 'I curse you with the curse of Allah (SWT),' three times and stretched out his hand as if to take something. When he finished praying we said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we heard you say something in your prayer that we have never heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand.' He said: 'The enemy of Allah (SWT), Iblis, came with a brand of fire to throw it in my face, so I said: I seek refuge with Allah from you three times, then I wanted to take hold of him. By Allah (SWT), were it not for the prayer of our brother Sulaiman, he would have been tied up this morning for the children of Al-Madinah to play with him.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1215)

قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْكَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلْعَنُكَ بِلَعْنَةِ اللَّهِ» ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَنَاوَلُ شَيْئًا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ سَمِعْنَاكَ تَقُولُ فِي صَلَاتِكَ شَيْئًا لَمْ نَسْمَعْكَ تَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَرَأَيْنَاكَ بَسَطْتَ يَدَكَ قَالَ «إِنَّ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ إِبْلِيسَ جَاءَ بِشِهَابٍ مِنْ نَارٍ لِيَجْعَلَهُ فِي وَجْهِي فَقُلْتُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْكَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَأْخِرْ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَأْخِرْ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَأْخِرْ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَخْنُقَهُ فَلَوْلَا دَعْوَةُ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانَ لَأَصْبَحَ مُوثَقًا يَلْعَبُ بِهِ صِبْيَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ»

Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up (to pray) and we heard him say:" I seek refuge in Allah from thee." Then said:" curse thee with Allah's curse" three times, then he stretched out his hand as though he was taking hold of something. When he finished the prayer, we said: Messenger of Allah, we heard you say something during the prayer which we have not heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand. He replied: Allah's enemy Iblis came with a flame of fire to put it in my face, so I said three times:" I Seek refuge in Allah from thee." Then I said three times:" I curse thee with Allah's full curse." But he did not retreat (on any one of these) three occasions. Thereafter I meant to seize him. I swear by Allah that had it not been for the supplication of my brother Sulaiman he would have been bound, and made an object of sport for the children of Medina.
