Hadith 3808
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : حَلَفْتُ بِاللَّاتِ وَالْعُزَّى ، فقال لِي أَصْحَابِي : بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتَ , قُلْتَ هُجْرًا . فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ، وَانْفُثْ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ ثَلَاثًا , وَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ثُمَّ لَا تَعُدْ " .
´Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrated that his father said:` "I swore by Al-Lat and Al-'Uzza and my companions said to me: 'What a bad thing you have said! You have said something horrible.' So I went to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that. He said: 'Say: La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir (There is none worthy of worship except Allah with no partner or associate; His is the Dominion, to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things). Spit to your left three times, seek refuge with Allah from the Shaitan, and do not say that again.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
It was, therefore, a satanic whispering for which the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) prescribed a remedy: remember Allah, spit to your left with aversion towards Satan, and verbally recite: "A'udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim."

(1) Sa'd radi Allahu anhu was among the very earliest Muslims. He is included among the Sabiqun al-Awwalun (the first and foremost). Only a few elders had accepted Islam before him. According to his own account, he was the third person to become Muslim. He is included among the 'Asharah Mubasharah (the ten given glad tidings of Paradise). Radi Allahu anhu wa ardahu.
(2) Al-'Uzza was also an idol which was commonly worshipped. In the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah), it was customary to swear oaths by idols. He too, unintentionally and out of habit, swore such an oath. (For details, see the previous hadith.)
(3) If a person commits a sin, it is obligatory (wajib) for him to seek forgiveness (istighfar) for it, and he should not commit that sin again, because this is among the conditions of repentance (tawbah).
