4982. It was narrated from Abū Al-Maliḥ that a man said: “I was riding behind the Prophet ﷺ, and his mount stumbled. I said: ‘May the Shaitān perish!’ He said: ‘Do not say, “May the Shaitān perish,” for when you say that, he swells up so much that he becomes like a house and says: “By my power.” Rather say: “Bismillāh (in the Name of Allāh),” for if you say that, he (the Shaitān) shrinks until he becomes like a fly.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

4982 - حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي الْحَذَّاءَ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَعَثَرَتْ دَابَّةٌ، فَقُلْتُ: تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ، فَقَالَ: " لَا تَقُلْ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ، فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ تَعَاظَمَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْبَيْتِ، وَيَقُولُ: بِقُوَّتِي، وَلَكِنْ قُلْ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ تَصَاغَرَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مِثْلَ الذُّبَابِ "
