Musnad Ahmad 25225

Translation

✧ I asked Aishah, the Mother of the Believers: With what did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ begin his prayer when he stood at night? She said: When he stood, he would say the takbir and say: O Allah, Lord of Jibril, Mikail, and Israfil, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, You judge between Your servants in what they used to differ. Guide me to the truth in that which is differed about, by Your permission. Indeed, You guide whom You will to a straight path. Yahya said: Abu Salamah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he stood at night, would say: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the accursed Satan, from his madness, his blowing, and his spitting. He said: And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: Seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, from his madness, his blowing, and his spitting. They said: O Messenger of Allah, what is his madness, his blowing, and his spitting? He said: As for his madness, it is this seizure that takes hold of the children of Adam. As for his blowing, it is pride. As for his spitting, it is poetry.
