Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، - هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ - عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتِ الْتَمَسْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَدْخَلْتُ يَدِي فى شَعْرِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ قَدْ جَاءَكِ شَيْطَانُكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أَمَا لَكَ شَيْطَانٌ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ بَلَى وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah reported to us; he said: al-Layth narrated to us, from Yahya—meaning Ibn Saʿid al-Ansari—from ʿUbadah ibn al-Walid ibn ʿUbadah ibn al-Samit, that ʿAishah said: I sought the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and ran my hand through his hair. He said: ‘Your devil has come to you.’ I said: ‘Do you have a devil too?’ He replied: ‘Yes, but Allah helped me against him, and he submitted.’
