وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَحْرٍ، ثَنَا عَدِيُّ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَارَةَ، ثَنَا زِيَادٌ النُّمَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ وَاضِعٌ خَطْمَهُ عَلَى قَلْبِ ابْنِ آدَمَ، فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَنَسَ، وَإِنْ نَسِيَ الْتَقَمَ قَلْبَهُ، فَذَلِكَ الْوَسْوَاسُ الْخَنَّاسُ
