Hadith 10403

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ((إِنَّ عِفْرِيتًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ تَفَلَّتَ عَلَيَّ الْبَارِحَةَ لِيَقْطَعَ عَلَيَّ الصَّلَاةَ فَأَمْكَنَنِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ فَدَعَتُّهُ وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْبِطَهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى تُصْبِحُوا فَتَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ كُلُّكُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ)) قَالَ ((فَذَكَرْتُ دَعْوَةَ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانَ رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي قَالَ فَرَدَّهُ خَاسِئًا))
Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A devil attacked me last night to interrupt my prayer, but Allah Almighty gave me power and I pushed him away. Then I intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the mosque so that you all could see him in the morning, but then I remembered the supplication of my brother Sulaiman (peace be upon him): "O my Lord! Grant me a kingdom such as shall not belong to anyone after me." So, I let him go, disappointed and unsuccessful.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sulayman (alayhis salam) inherited prophethood and kingship from his father Dawud (alayhis salam). Sulayman (alayhis salam) possessed unique characteristics and virtues; he is distinguished in the entire history of humanity in that his rule was not limited to humans alone, but also extended over the jinn, animals, birds, and even the wind was under his command.

Allah Ta’ala has mentioned Sulayman (alayhis salam) in a very beautiful manner in Surah an-Naml (16 to 44) and in Surah Sad (30 to 40).
