Hadith 8471
عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ عَنْ رِدْفِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مَنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ رِدْفِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ رِدْفَهُ خَلْفَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الدَّابَّةِ فَعَثَرَتْ بِهِ دَابَّتُهُ فَقَالَ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَعَاظَمُ إِذَا قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ وَيَقُولُ بِقُوَّتِي صَرَعْتُهُ وَإِذَا قُلْتَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَصَاغَرَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مِثْلَ الذُّبَابِ
It is narrated from Abu Tamimah Hajimi, who reports from the back seat of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), that he was sitting behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on his mount. Suddenly, when the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) mount slipped, he said: “May the devil be ruined.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do not say this. In this way, he considers himself great, so much so that he swells with joy until he becomes as big as a mountain and says, ‘I made him fall by my strength.’ But when you say ‘Bismillah’ (In the name of Allah), he becomes small, until he is as little as a fly.”
Hadith 8472
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا سُئِلَتْ عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يَقْطَعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ آيَةً آيَةً بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite, pausing at each verse: {بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ۔ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِیْنَ۔ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ۔ مَالِکِ یَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ۔} (that is, he, peace and blessings be upon him, would pause at each verse).
