It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to seek refuge from the *hamz*, *nafth*, and *nafh* of Satan. *Hamz* refers to his madness, *nafth* refers to his poetry, and *nafh* refers to his arrogance.

Benefits: ... The literal meaning of the word "nafh" is to blow with a slight amount of saliva, as if poetry too is the result of the devil's blowing, that is, instilling whisperings. What is meant are those verses of poetry which, according to the Shari'ah, are blameworthy.
