Seeking Refuge from Satan When Yawning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: Some people, when they yawn, seek refuge from Satan. Is this action correct?

Answer:
It has no basis. However, he may have derived it from the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that yawning is from Satan. As for linking this dhikr to yawning without evidence, that has no basis.
