English narration

Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي

"The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Last night a big demon (afreet) from the Jinns came to me and wanted to interrupt my prayers (or said something similar) but Allah enabled me to overpower him. I wanted to fasten him to one of the pillars of the mosque so that all of you could See him in the morning but I remembered the statement of my brother Solomon (as stated in Quran) My Lord! Forgive me and bestow on me a kingdom such as shall not belong to anybody after me (38.35)." The sub narrator Rauh said, "He (the demon) was dismissed humiliated."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، "

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَوْ رَجُلًا كَانَتْ تَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ وَلَا أُرَاهُ إِلَّا امْرَأَةً ، فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى عَلَى قَبْرِهَا
