باب التَّعَوُّذِ مِنْ شَيْطَانِ الْوَسْوَسَةِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ:Chapter: Seeking Refuge With Allah From The Devil Who Whispers During Prayer
Hadith 2203
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ ، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ صَلَاتِي وَقِرَاءَتِي يَلْبِسُهَا عَلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ذَاكَ شَيْطَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ خَنْزَبٌ ، فَإِذَا أَحْسَسْتَهُ فَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ ، وَاتْفِلْ عَلَى يَسَارِكَ ثَلَاثًا " ، قَالَ : فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي .
'Uthman bin Abu al-'As reported that he came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, the Satan intervenes between me and my prayer and my reciting of the Qur'an and he confounds me. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: That is (the doing of the Satan) who is known as Khinzab, and when you perceive its effect, seek refuge with Allah from it and spit three times to your left. I did that and Allah dispelled that from me.

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
Takhrij:
[صحيح مسلم 5738]
Fiqh al-Hadith:
➊ The name of the devil who is set upon those performing prayer is Khanzab. In a fabricated (mawdu‘) narration from Ghunyat al-Talibin, the word “hadith” appears, which is a scribal error.
➋ One should act upon the methods for protection from satanic whisperings (waswasah) that are mentioned in authentic ahadith, so that Allah, by His grace and mercy, may safeguard one from these whisperings.
