[1209] 39 - (541) Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'An Ifrît (demon) from among the jinn tried to catch me unawares yesterday, to interrupt my prayer. But Allāh enabled me to defeat him and I grabbed him by the neck. I thought of tying him to one of the pillars in the Masjid, so that you could all have seen him this morning. Then I remembered the prayer of my brother Sulaimân ﷺ: "...My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me...",[1] so Allāh caused him (the jinn) to be defeated."

Arabic text

39 - (541) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ عِفْرِيتًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ جَعَلَ يَفْتِكُ عَلَيَّ الْبَارِحَةَ، لِيَقْطَعَ عَلَيَّ الصَّلَاةَ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ أَمْكَنَنِي مِنْهُ فَذَعَتُّهُ، فَلَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَرْبِطَهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ، حَتَّى تُصْبِحُوا تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَجْمَعُونَ - أَوْ كُلُّكُمْ - ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانَ: {رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَهَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي} ، فَرَدَّهُ اللهُ خَاسِئًا " وقَالَ ابْنُ مَنْصُورٍ: شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ. ح
