3423. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "A strong demon from the jinns came to me yesterday suddenly, so as to spoil my Salāt (prayer), but Allāh enabled me to overpower him, and so I caught him and intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the mosque so that all of you might see him, but I remembered the invocation of my brother Sulaimān (Solomon): '...And bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me...' (V.38:35) So, I let him go disgraced."

3423 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ عِفْرِيتًا مِنَ الجِنِّ تَفَلَّتَ البَارِحَةَ لِيَقْطَعَ عَلَيَّ صَلاَتِي، فَأَمْكَنَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْبُطَهُ عَلَى سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي المَسْجِدِ حَتَّى تَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ كُلُّكُمْ، فَذَكَرْتُ دَعْوَةَ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانَ رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي فَرَدَدْتُهُ خَاسِئًا» {عِفْرِيتٌ} [النمل: 39] مُتَمَرِّدٌ مِنْ إِنْسٍ أَوْ جَانٍّ، مِثْلُ زِبْنِيَةٍ جَمَاعَتُهَا الزَّبَانِيَةُ "
