The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer

Muhammad ibn Salama al-Muradi reported to us: Abdullah ibn Wahb reported to us, from Muawiya ibn Salih, who said: Rabi'a ibn Yazid reported to me, from Abu Idris al-Khawlani, from Abu al-Darda, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood, and we heard him say, 'I seek refuge in Allah from you.' Then he said, 'I curse you with Allah's curse,' three times. He stretched out his hand as though reaching for something. When he finished the prayer, we said, 'Messenger of Allah, we heard you say something during prayer that we had never heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand.' He said, 'Allah's enemy, Iblis, came with a flame of fire to put it in my face, so I said three times, “I seek refuge in Allah from you.” Then I said, “I curse you with Allah's complete curse,” three times, but he did not retreat. Then I wanted to seize him. By Allah, were it not for the supplication of our brother Sulayman, he would have been bound, for the children of the people of Medina to play with.'

Al-Hakam ibn Musa al-Qantari reported to me: Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak reported to us. (A transmission) Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba reported to us: Abu Khalid and Abu Usama reported to us, both from Hisham, from Muhammad, from Abu Hurayra, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he forbade a man to pray with his hand on his hip. In Abu Bakr's version, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it.
