Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 7904

وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : إِنَّ شَيْطَانَ الْمُسْلِمِ يَلْقَى شَيْطَانَ الْكَافِرِ فَيُرَى شَيْطَانُ الْمُؤْمِنِ شَاحِبًا أَغْبَرَ مَهْزُولًا ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ شَيْطَانُ الْكَافِرِ : وَيْحَكَ مَا لَكَ هَلَكْتَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ شَيْطَانُ الْمُؤْمِنِ : لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا أَصِلُ مَعَهُ إِلَى شَيْءٍ ، إِذَا طَعِمَ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَإِذَا شَرِبَ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ ، وَإِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ ، فَيَقُولُ الْآخَرُ : لَكِنِّي آكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ وَأَشْرَبُ مِنْ شَرَابِهِ وَأَنَامُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ . فَهَذَا سَاحٌّ وَهَذَا مَهْزُولٌ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ مَوْقُوفًا وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The devil that stays with a Muslim meets the devil that stays with a disbeliever, and the devil that stays with the believer looks pale, dust-covered and emaciated. The devil that stays with the disbeliever asks him: "Woe to you! Why are you being destroyed?" The devil that stays with the believer says: "By Allah! I cannot get at anything with him. When he eats, he mentions the name of Allah; when he drinks, he mentions the name of Allah; and when he enters his house, he mentions the name of Allah." The other devil says: "But as for me, I eat from the food of the person I am with, drink from his drink, and sleep on his bed." So that one is healthy, and this one is emaciated.
Tabarani recorded it as a mawquf (Companion's own statement) narration, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
