\n\n \nYahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from\nAbu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant\nhim peace, said, "When the call to prayer is made Shaytan retreats,\npassing wind, so that he will not hear the adhan. When the adhan is\ncompleted he comes back, until, when the iqama is said, he retreats\nagain. When the iqama is completed, he comes back, until he comes\nbetween a man and his self and says, 'Think of such and such, think of\nsuch and such,' which he was not thinking about before, until the man\ndoes not know how much he has prayed."\n\n

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏\n"‏ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاَةِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ ضُرَاطٌ حَتَّى لاَ يَسْمَعَ النِّدَاءَ فَإِذَا قُضِيَ النِّدَاءُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلاَةِ أَدْبَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا قُضِيَ التَّثْوِيبُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى يَخْطِرَ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَنَفْسِهِ يَقُولُ اذْكُرْ كَذَا اذْكُرْ كَذَا لِمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ حَتَّى يَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ إِنْ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى ‏"‏ ‏.‏
