ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ أَفْسَدَ صَلَاةَ الْعَامِلِ فِيهَا عَمَلًا يَسِيرًا

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ saw a devil while he was praying, so he seized him and choked him until his tongue turned cold in his hand. Then he ﷺ said, 'If it wasn't for the supplication of my brother Solomon, he would have been tied up so that the people could see him in the morning.'"  

ابن حبّان:٢٣٥٠أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْمَى عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى شَيْطَانًا وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَأَخَذَهُ فَخَنَقَهُ حَتَّى وَجَدَ بَرْدَ لِسَانِهِ عَلَى يَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ «لَوْلَا دَعْوَةُ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانَ لَأَصْبَحَ مُوثَقًا حَتَّى يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ»

قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَهَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي} [ص: 35]

nasai-kubra:11375Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > Yaḥyá b. Ādam > Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh > Ḥuṣayn > ʿUbaydullāh > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray, and then the Shaytan came to him and seized him in order to strangle him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I felt the coolness of his tongue in my hand, and if not for the supplication of my brother Sulaiman ﷺ , I would have remained tied up until people saw me."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٣٧٥أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ حُصَينٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فَأَتَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَأَخَذَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ فَخَنَقَهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ لِسَانِهِ عَلَى يَدِي وَلَوْلَا دَعْوَةُ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لَأَصْبَحَ مُوثَقًا حَتَّى يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ»
