حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ , حَدَّثَنِي عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ , حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي , عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ , قَالَ : لَمَّا اسْتَعْمَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الطَّائِفِ , جَعَلَ يَعْرِضُ لِي شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِي حَتَّى مَا أَدْرِي مَا أُصَلِّي , فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ رَحَلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالَ : " ابْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ " , قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : " مَا جَاءَ بِكَ " , قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , عَرَضَ لِي شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَوَاتِي حَتَّى مَا أَدْرِي مَا أُصَلِّي , قَالَ : " ذَاكَ الشَّيْطَانُ ادْنُهْ " , فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ , فَجَلَسْتُ عَلَى صُدُورِ قَدَمَيَّ , قَالَ : فَضَرَبَ صَدْرِي بِيَدِهِ , وَتَفَلَ فِي فَمِي , وَقَالَ : " اخْرُجْ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ " , فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " الْحَقْ بِعَمَلِكَ " , قَالَ : فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : فَلَعَمْرِي مَا أَحْسِبُهُ خَالَطَنِي بَعْدُ .
´It was narrated that ‘Uthman bin Abul-‘As said:` “When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) appointed me as governor of Ta’if, I began to get confused during my prayer, until I no longer knew what I was doing. When I noticed that, I travelled to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he said: ‘The son of Abul-‘As?’ I said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘What brings you here?’ He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I get confused during my prayer, until I do not know what I am doing.’ He said: ‘That is Satan. Come here.’ So I came close to him, and sat upon the front part of my feet then he struck my chest with his hand and put some spittle in my mouth and said: ‘Get out, O enemy of Allah!’ He did that three times, then he said: ‘Get on with your work.’” ‘Uthman said: “Indeed, I never felt confused (during my prayer) after that.”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Satan tries to prevent the believer from performing prayer (salah).
➋
Satanic whispers (waswasah) can reach a disturbing extent.
In such a situation, supplicating to Allah and reciting the Mu'awwidhatayn, etc., is beneficial.
➌
In the view of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in), the importance of prayer (salah) was greater than rank and other official duties.
➍
By the blessing of the saliva of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Satan was driven away.
➎
For resolving the difficulties of students and devoted followers, help can also be sought through supplication (du'a) and spiritual healing (ruqyah), especially when the difficulty is of a spiritual nature.
➏
Because of the status and rank of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Satan would leave at his command and would not dare to trouble that person again.
➐
Satan enters into a human being and, by the blessing of the prescribed remembrances (adhkar) and supplications (ad'iyah), he departs.
