عَن عُثْمَان بن أبي الْعَاصِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ حَالَ بيني وَبَين صَلَاتي وقراءتي يُلَبِّسُهَا عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاكَ شَيْطَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ خِنْزِبٌ فَإِذَا أَحْسَسْتَهُ فَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ وَاتْفُلْ عَلَى يسارك ثَلَاثًا قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي» . رَوَاهُ مَسْلِمٌ
ʿUthman ibn Abi al-ʿAs came to the Prophet and said, “Messenger of God, Satan has come between me and my prayer and recitation, confusing them for me.” The Messenger of God replied, “That is a devil called Khinzab. When you sense him, seek refuge in God from him and spit to your left three times.” He said, “I did that, and God made him go away from me.” Muslim transmitted it.
