عِيسَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْغَافِقِيُّ ، نَا
ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ
مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلانِيِّ ، عَنْ
أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي ، ثُمَّ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَنَاوَلُ شَيْئًا ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ الصَّلاةِ ، قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ بَسَطْتَ يَدَكَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ إِبْلِيسَ جَاءَ بِشِهَابٍ مِنْ نَارٍ لِيَجْعَلَهُ فِي وَجْهِي ، فَقُلْتُ : أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْكَ ، فَلَمْ يَسْتَأْخِرْ ثَلاثًا ، ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَخْذَهُ ، وَلَوْلا دَعْوَةُ أَخِينَا سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ ، لأَصْبَحَ مُوثَقًا ، يَلْعَبُ بِهِ وِلْدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ "
Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing and offering prayer, then he (peace be upon him) extended his hand as if he was catching something. When he (peace be upon him) finished the prayer, we said, "O Messenger of Allah, we saw you extending your hand." He (peace be upon him) said: "The enemy of Allah, Iblis, came with a flame of fire to throw it on my face, so I said: I seek refuge in Allah from you, but he did not retreat. I recited this supplication three times. Then I intended to catch him. And if it were not for the supplication of our brother Sulaiman (peace be upon him), he would have been tied up till morning, and the children of Madinah would have played with him."
