461. Narrated Abū Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Last night a big Ifreet (demon) from the jinns came to me and wanted to interrupt my Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayers) (or said something similar) but Allāh enabled me to overpower him. I wanted to fasten him to one of the pillars of the mosque so that all of you could see him in the morning but I remembered the statement of my brother Sulaimān (Solomon) (as stated in the Qur'ān): My Lord! Forgive me and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me... (V.38:35)." The sub-narrator Rūḥ said, "He (the demon) was dismissed humiliated."

461 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحٌ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ عِفْرِيتًا مِنَ الجِنِّ تَفَلَّتَ عَلَيَّ البَارِحَةَ - أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا - لِيَقْطَعَ عَلَيَّ الصَّلاَةَ، فَأَمْكَنَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْبِطَهُ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي المَسْجِدِ حَتَّى تُصْبِحُوا وَتَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ كُلُّكُمْ، فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانَ: رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي "، قَالَ رَوْحٌ: «فَرَدَّهُ خَاسِئًا»
