"عَنْ أَبِى الْكنُودِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: إِذَا حَدَّثَ الرَّجُلُ نَفْسَهُ بسَاعَةٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَقُومُهَا أَتَاهُ آتٍ فَغَمَزَهُ فَقَالَ: قُم اذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ وَصَلِّ مَا قُدَّرَ لَكَ، فَيَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ: نَمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَيْلًا، هَلْ تَسْمَعُ صَوْتًا؟ قَالَ: فَيَخْتَصِمُ فيهِ الْمَلَكُ وَالشَّيْطَانُ، فَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ: فَاتِحُ خَيْرٍ، وَيَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ: فَاتِحُ شَرًّ، فَإنْ قَامَ فَصَلَّى أَصَابَ خَيْرًا، وَإنْ نَامَ أَتَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ فَتَفَاجَّ، فَبَالَ فِى أُذُنِهِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِالْفَجْرِ، فَيُصْبِحُ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَهْمُومًا".

"From Abu al-Kanud, from Abdullah, he said: When a man resolves in himself to pray at an hour of the night, a comer comes to him and nudges him, saying: 'Get up, remember your Lord, and pray what has been decreed for you.' Shaytan says: 'Sleep, for there is a long night ahead of you. Do you hear a sound?' The angel and Shaytan then dispute over him. The angel says: 'Opener of good,' and Shaytan says: 'Opener of evil.' If he gets up and prays, he attains good, but if he sleeps, Shaytan comes to him until morning, and he is stretched out, and urinates in his ear. Then when dawn comes, he rises that day anxious."
