Arabic text
968 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا تَثَاءَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ، فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ عَلَى فِيهِ، وَلَا يَعْوِي، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَضْحَكُ مِنْهُ»
