حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبَزَّازُ ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بُدَيْلٍ ، ثنا مُفَضَّلُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، ثنا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلاةً مَكْتُوبَةً ، فَضَمَّ يَدَهُ فِي الصَّلاةِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدَثَ فِي الصَّلاةِ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَ : " لا ، إِلا أَنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فَخَنَقَتْهُ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ لِسَانِهِ عَلَى يَدَيْ ، وَأَيْمُ اللَّهِ لَوْلا مَا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانُ لارْتَبَطَ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَطُوفَ بِهِ وِلْدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ " .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We performed a fard prayer behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and during the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) joined his hands together. When he finished the prayer, we said: O Messenger of Allah! You have done something new during the prayer? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, Satan wanted to pass in front of me, so I caught him by the neck until I felt the coolness of his tongue on my hands. By Allah! If my brother Sulaiman (peace be upon him) had not already made that supplication before me, I would have tied that Satan to one of the pillars of this mosque, and the children of Madinah would have circled around him (and mocked him)."
