Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us; Qabisah narrated to us; Sufyan informed us, from ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ‘Umayr, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from Mu‘adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: Two men traded insults in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), until anger could be seen on one of their faces. The Prophet said: ‘I know a phrase which, if he said it, would make his anger go away: “I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed.”’ Bundar narrated to us; ‘Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Sufyan, with this chain, similarly. He said: ‘There is also a report on this subject from Sulayman ibn Surad. This hadith is mursal. ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla did not hear from Mu‘adh ibn Jabal: Mu‘adh died during the caliphate of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, and when ‘Umar was killed, ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla was a boy of six. Shu‘bah likewise narrated it from al-Hakam, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla. ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla narrated from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab and saw him. ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla was kunya’d Abu ‘Isa, and Abu Layla’s name was Yasar. It is reported that ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla said: “I met one hundred and twenty of the Ansar who were Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).”’
