Hadith 7969

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّ عِفْرِيتًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ تَفَلَّتَ عَلَيَّ الْبَارِحَةَ لِيَقْطَعَ عَلَيَّ الصَّلَاةَ ، فَأَمْكَنَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُ فَذعَتُّهُ ، وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْبِطَهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، حَتَّى تُصْبِحُوا فَتَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ كُلُّكُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ ، قَالَ : فَذَكَرْتُ دَعْوَةَ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانَ : رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي ، قَالَ : فَرَدَّهُ خَاسِئًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tonight a rebellious jinn tried to overpower me so that he could disrupt my prayer. Allah gave me control over him and I caught him. I intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the mosque so that you all could see him in the morning. But then I remembered the supplication of my brother Hazrat Sulaiman (peace be upon him): 'My Lord, grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me.' The narrator says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then drove him away in disgrace."
