4808. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Last night a demon from the jinn came to me (or the Prophet ﷺ said, a similar sentence) to disturb my Salāt (prayer), but Allāh gave me the power to overcome him. I intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the mosque till the morning so that all of you could see him, but then I remembered the statement of my brother Sulaimān (Solomon): 'And bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me...' (V.38:35) The narrator added: Then he (the Prophet ﷺ) dismissed him, rejected.

4808 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا 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، وَأَرَدْتُ 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 "
