Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 2111

«إن عفريتا من الجن تفلت علي البارحة ليقطع على الصلاة فأمكنني الله منه فذعته وأردت أن أربطه إلى سارية من سواري المسجد حتى تصبحوا وتنظروا إليه كلكم فذكرت قول أخي سليمان {رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَهَبْ لِي مُلْكاً لا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي} فرده الله خاسئا»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Last night a rebellious one from among the jinn suddenly attacked me in order to break my prayer, but Allah Almighty gave me power over him and I choked him. I intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the mosque so that in the morning all of you could see him. But then I remembered this supplication of my brother Sulayman (peace be upon him): 'My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me' [Surah Sad: 35], so Allah Almighty sent him (the jinn) back humiliated and disgraced."
