Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir 1649 — Indeed, Satan appeared before me

"إن الشيطان عرض لي فشد علي ليقطع الصلاة علي فأمكنني الله تعالى منه فذعته ولقد هممت أن أوثقه إلى سارية حتى تصبحوا فتنظروا إليه فذكرت قول سليمان {رَبِ هَبْ لِي مُلْكاً لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي} فرده الله خاسئا
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Indeed, Satan appeared before me and pressed hard against me in order to break my prayer, but Allah Almighty gave me power over him, so I choked him. And I had intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the mosque so that you could see him in the morning, but I remembered this saying of Sulayman (peace be upon him): 'My Lord! Grant me a kingdom such as will not befit anyone after me.' [Surah Sad: 35] So Allah sent him back humiliated and disgraced."
