English translation
1210. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ once offered the Salāt (prayer) and said, "Satan came in front of me and tried to interrupt my Salāt (prayer), but Allāh gave me an upper hand on him and I choked him. No doubt, I thought of tying him to one of the pillars of the mosque till you get up in the morning and see him. Then I remembered the statement of Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) عليه السلام 'My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me... (V.38:35).' Then Allāh made him (Satan) return with his head down (humiliated)."
