حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
يَعْقِدُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى قَافِيَةِ رَأْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ ثَلَاثَ عُقَدٍ، بِكُلِّ عُقْدَةٍ يَضْرِبُ عَلَيْكَ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا فَارْقُدْ [فَارْقُدْ] ( وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: يَضْرِبُ عَلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ عُقْدَةٍ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا ) قَالَ: وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ فَذَكَرَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ، فَإِذَا تَوَضَّأَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَتَانِ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى انْحَلَّتِ الْعُقَدُ وَأَصْبَحَ طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ نَشِيطًا. وَإِلَّا أَصْبَحَ خَبِيثَ النَّفْسِ كَسْلَانَ

✧ Satan ties three knots on the nape of the head of any one of you; with each knot he strikes upon you a long night, so sleep. (And once he said: he strikes upon him with each knot a long night.) He said: And when he wakes and remembers Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, one knot is undone; when he performs ablution, two knots are undone; when he prays, the knots are undone, and he arises with a good soul and energetic. Otherwise, he arises with an evil soul and lazy.
