Hadith 216
216 صحيح حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ: إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاَةِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَان وَلَهُ ضُرَاطٌ حَتَّى لاَ يَسْمَعَ التَّأْذِينَ، فَإِذَا قُضِيَ النِّدَاءُ أَقْبَلَ، حَتَّى إِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلاَةِ أَدْبَرَ، حَتَّى إِذَا قُضِيَ التَّثْوِيبُ أَقْبَلَ، حَتَّى يَخْطُرَ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَنَفْسِهِ، يَقُولُ اذْكُرْ كَذَا، اذْكُرْ كَذَا، لِمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ؛ حَتَّى يَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ لاَ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the call to prayer (adhan) is given, Satan turns his back and flees with great speed, passing wind, so that he does not hear the sound of the adhan. When the adhan is finished, he returns. But as soon as the iqamah (second call to prayer) begins, he again turns his back and flees. When the iqamah is finished, Satan comes back again and puts whispers into the heart of the worshipper, saying, "Remember such-and-such, remember such-and-such," reminding him of things he had not even thought of before, and in this way, the person forgets how many rak‘ahs he has prayed.
