1254. It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'When the call to prayer is given, the Shaitân runs away breaking wind loudly. When the Tathwîb (Iqâmah) is completed, he comes back and whispers to a man in his heart, until he does not know how many (Rak'ahs) he has prayed. If any one of you notices that, let him prostrate twice.” (Sahih)
1253 - أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ ضُرَاطٌ، فَإِذَا قُضِيَ التَّثْوِيبُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى يَخْطُرَ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ حَتَّى لَا يَدْرِيَ كَمْ صَلَّى، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»

1. Satan's breaking wind could be due to the effect of the call to prayer (like a donkey, when overburdened, breaks wind), or it could be so that he may not hear the Adhan (due to the sound of breaking wind), or it may to demonstrate that the Adhan causes great affliction to the devil. 2. In other narrations, there is mention of his return at the end of Adhan and fleeing again at the time of commencement of prayer. This report is brief.
