If a person yawns during the prayer, should he seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person yawns during the prayer, should he seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan?

Answer:
No, not in the prayer and not in anything else. Seeking refuge in Allah when yawning is not prescribed, neither in the prayer nor in anything else. It is merely a custom of the common people. Yes.
