Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 13877

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " دَخَلْتُ الْبَيْتَ فَإِذَا شَيْطَانٌ خَلْفَ الْبَابِ ، فَخَنَقْتُهُ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرَدَ لِسَانِهِ عَلَى يَدَيَّ ، فَلَوْلَا دَعْوَةُ الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ ، لَأَصْبَحَ مَرْبُوطًا يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ .
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "I entered the house and there was a devil behind the door. I began to strangle him, until I felt the coolness of his tongue on my hand. Had it not been for the supplication of a righteous servant, he would have been tied up by the morning and people would have seen him."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain is hasan (good).
