Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We prayed an obligatory prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). During the prayer he (peace and blessings be upon him) brought his hands together. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer, we asked: O Messenger of Allah, has something new come about in the prayer, that is, a command? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, but the devil tried to pass in front of me, so I squeezed his throat and felt the coolness of his tongue on my hand. By Allah, had the supplication of my brother Sulayman (peace be upon him) not preceded, I would have tied him to one of the pillars of the mosque, and in the morning the children of Madinah would have played with him."
