It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "While I was praying, suddenly a devil came in front of me. I seized him by the throat and choked him, until I felt the coolness of his tongue on my hand. Were it not for the supplication of my brother Sulayman (peace be upon him), he would have been tied up in the morning and you would be looking at him."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ubaydullah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Husayn, no one narrated it from Husayn except Abu Bakr bin Ayyash, and Yahya bin Adam is alone in narrating it."
