808. It was narrated from Ibn Mas’ud that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Allâhumma inni a’udhu bika minash-Shaitânir-rajim, wa hamzihi wa nafkhihi wa nafthihi (O Allâh, I seek refuge in You from the accursed Satan, from his madness, his pride, and his poetry).” (Hasan) He said: “Hamzuhu is his madness, Nafathuhu is poetry, and Nafkhuhu is pride.”
808 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ، وَهَمْزِهِ، وَنَفْخِهِ، وَنَفْثِهِ» قَالَ: هَمْزُهُ: الْمُوتَةُ، وَنَفْثُهُ: الشِّعْرُ، وَنَفْخُهُ: الْكِبْرُ

a. Hamz in Arabic means to put somebody to discomfort by piercing one’s fingers into his body. b. Nafth literally means to emit a puff or breath from the mouth. Here, it applies to obscene songs or erotic and vulgar lines of poetry inspired by Satan. c. Nafkh means to blow from the mouth or breathe into something in order to inflate it. In the context of the Hadith it means the feeling of vanity and pride.
