90. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When any one of you wakes from sleep to perform Wudū, then let him sniff water in his nose and blow it out three times, for the Shaitān spends the night on his nose." (Sahīh)
90 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زُنْبُورٍ الْمَكِّيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ؛ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَبِيتُ عَلَى خَيْشُومِهِ»

"Satan's spending the night" means that Satan dwells at the root of a person's nose for the whole night. Muhaddithin (scholars specialized in the field of Hadīth), have stated that Muslims must believe in the literal meaning of this Hadīth, for to do otherwise requires proof.
