[854] 15 - (388) It was narrated from Al-A'mash, from Abū Sufyān, that Jābir said: "I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: 'When the Shaitān hears the call to prayer, he goes away as far as Ar-Rawḥā'." Sulaimān (Al-A'mash) said: "I asked him about Ar-Rawḥā', and he said: 'It is thirty-six miles away from Al-Madīnah.'"

باب إدبار الشيطان إذا سمع النداء وعودته للوسوسة 15 - (388) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا، وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ - حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ بِالصَّلَاةِ ذَهَبَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مَكَانَ الرَّوْحَاءِ» قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّوْحَاءِ فَقَالَ: «هِيَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ سِتَّةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ مِيلًا»
