English translation
[1211] 40 - (542) It was narrated that Abû Ad-Dardâ' said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up (to offer prayers) and we heard him saying: 'I seek refuge with Allâh from you.' Then he said: 'I curse you with the curse of Allâh' - (and he repeated it) three times, and he stretched out his hand as if to take something. When he had finished the prayers, we said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, we heard you say something during the prayer that we have not heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand.' He said: 'The enemy of Allâh, Iblîs, came with a brand of fire to throw it in my face, and I said: "I seek refuge with Allâh from you," three times. Then I said: "I curse you with the curse of Allâh," - three times but he did not go back. Then I wanted to seize him, and by Allâh, were it not for the prayer of our brother Sulaimân, peace be upon him, this morning he would have been tied up and the children of the people of Al-Madīnah would have played with him.”
