وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «التَّثَاؤُبُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا تَثَاءَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَكْظِمْ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَفِي أُخْرَى لَهُ وَلِابْنِ مَاجَهْ: «فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ على فِيهِ»

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: ‘Yawning during prayer is from Satan. When one of you yawns, let him restrain it as much as he can.’ Al-Tirmidhi transmitted it. In another version transmitted by him and Ibn Majah, it says: ‘Let him place his hand over his mouth.’
