nasai-kubra:826ʿAlī b. Ḥujr And ʾIsḥāq b. Manṣūr > Sufyān > Ṣafwān b. Sulaym > Nāfiʿ b. Jubayr > Sahl b. Abū Ḥathmah

The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you prays facing a sutrah he should keep close to it, and not let the devil interrupt his prayer. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated by Waqid b. Muhammad from Safwan from Muhammad b. Sahl on the authority of his father, or on the authority of Muhammad b. Sahl from the Prophet ﷺ. Some have narrated it from Nafi' b. Jubair on the authority of Sahl b. Sa'd. There is a variation in the chain of its narrators. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 695)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٢٦أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ فَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا لَا يَقْطَعُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاتَهُ»
