The questioner : The questioner asks the honorable Shaykh: How do we get rid of Satan’s whispers during prayer?
The Shaykh : By seeking refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one. If a person is in prayer and Satan whispers to him and agitates him, or perhaps if he is a merchant buying and selling in his mind while he is praying, or if he is a student of knowledge thinking about a problem that has confused him while he is praying, we say: The cure for this is to spit to his left three times and say, “I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one.”
The questioner : The questioner asks the honorable Shaykh: A man entered the state of ihram from the miqat.
