حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَرَجُلاَنِ يَسْتَبَّانِ، فَأَحَدُهُمَا احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ، وَانْتَفَخَتْ أَوْدَاجُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ، لَوْ قَالَ (أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ) ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ» فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: تَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَقَالَ: وَهَلْ بِي جُنُونٌ؟

I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when two men were insulting each other. One of them became red in the face and the veins of his neck swelled. The Prophet ﷺ said: “I know a word which, if he were to say it, what he is experiencing would go away. If he were to say: ‘I seek refuge in Allah from Satan,’ what he is experiencing would go away.” They said to him, “The Prophet ﷺ says: Seek refuge in Allah from Satan.” He replied, “Am I insane?”
