أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ
قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَسَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ «أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْكَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلْعَنُكَ بِلَعْنَةِ اللهِ» ثَلَاثًا وَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَنَاوَلُ شَيْئًا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ سَمِعْنَاكَ تَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْئًا لَمْ نَسْمَعْكَ تَقُولُهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ وَرَأَيْنَاكَ بَسَطْتَ يَدَكَ قَالَ إِنَّ عَدُوَّ اللهِ إِبْلِيسَ جَاءَ بِشِهَابٍ مِنْ نَارٍ لِيَجْعَلَهُ فِي وَجْهِي فَقُلْتُ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ أَلْعَنُكَ بِلَعْنَةِ اللهِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَأْخِرْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ آخُذَهُ وَاللهِ لَوْلَا دَعْوَةُ أَخِينَا سُلَيْمَانَ لَأَصْبَحَ مُوثَقًا يَلْعَبُ بِهِ وِلْدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood to pray and we heard him say: “I seek refuge in Allah from you.” Then he said: “I curse you with the curse of Allah” three times, and he stretched out his hand as if reaching for something. When he finished the prayer we said: O Messenger of Allah, we heard you say something in the prayer that we had not heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand. He said: “Indeed the enemy of Allah, Iblis, came with a brand of fire to put it in my face, so I said: I seek refuge in Allah from you, three times. Then I said: I curse you with the curse of Allah, but he did not retreat, three times. Then I wanted to seize him. By Allah, were it not for the supplication of our brother Sulayman, he would have been bound and the children of the people of Madinah would have been playing with him.”
