حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْعَلَّافُ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ

كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ شَدِيدَةُ الظُّلْمَةِ وَالْمَطَرِ فَقُلْتُ لَوْ أَنِّي اغْتَنَمْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ شُهُودَ الْعَتَمَةِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَفَعَلْتُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَبْصَرَنِي وَمَعَهُ عُرْجُونٌ يَمْشِي عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «مَا لَكَ يَا قَتَادَةُ هَهُنَا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ؟» قُلْتُ اغْتَنَمْتُ شُهُودَ الصَّلَاةِ مَعَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهُ فَأَعْطَانِيَ الْعُرْجُونَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ خَلْفَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ فَاذْهَبْ بِهَذَا الْعُرْجُونِ فَأَمْسَكْ بِهِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ بَيْتَكَ فَخُذْهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبَيْتِ فَاضْرِبْهُ بِالْعُرْجُونِ» فَخَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَضَاءَ الْعُرْجُونُ مِثْلَ الشَّمْعَةِ نُورًا فَاسْتَضَأْتُ بِهِ فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي فَوَجَدْتُهُمْ رُقُودًا فَنَظَرْتُ فِي الزَّاوِيَةِ فَإِذَا فِيهَا قُنْفُذٌ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَضْرِبُهُ بِالْعُرْجُونِ حَتَّى خَرَجَ

✧ It was a night of intense darkness and rain. I thought, if only I could take advantage of this night by attending ʿIshāʾ with the Prophet ﷺ. So I did. When the Prophet ﷺ finished, he saw me, and he had a palm branch on which he leaned while walking. He said, "What brings you here at this hour, O Qatādah?" I said, "I took the opportunity to attend the prayer with you, O Messenger of Allah." He gave me the palm branch and said, "Indeed, Satan has taken your place with your family. Go with this palm branch, take hold of it until you reach your house, then take it from behind the house and strike him with the palm branch." I left the mosque, and the palm branch lit up like a candle with light. I used it for light and came to my family, and I found them asleep. I looked in the corner, and there was a hedgehog in it. I kept striking it with the palm branch until it went out.
