[5738] 68 - (2203) It was narrated that 'Uthmân bin Abul-'Âs came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allâh, the Shaitân interferes between me and my prayer and my recitation, and he makes me confused. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'That is a devil called Khinzab. If you feel that, then seek refuge with Allâh from him and blow spittle to your left three times.' He said: 'I did that and Allâh took him away from me.'"

Arabic text

68 - (2203) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ صَلَاتِي وَقِرَاءَتِي يَلْبِسُهَا عَلَيَّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ذَاكَ شَيْطَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ خَنْزَبٌ، فَإِذَا أَحْسَسْتَهُ فَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنْهُ، وَاتْفِلْ عَلَى يَسَارِكَ ثَلَاثًا» قَالَ: فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ اللهُ عَنِّي
