The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer-02b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad ibn Sulama al-Muradi narrated to us, and Abdullah ibn Wahb narrated to us from Mu'awiya ibn Salih, who said: Rabi'ah ibn Yazid narrated to me from Abu Darda' al-Khawlani, from Abu al-Darda', who said: Mishkat al-Masabih 1012.
The Shaykh : This is another story. The first one, as you saw, is from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, and it was not in the presence of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). As for this one, it is from the hadith of Abu al-Darda', and it was in the presence of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). The point of the title is his saying: to the end.
Abud Darda’ said: God’s Messenger stood up to pray and we heard him say, “I seek refuge in God from you”, then say, “I curse you with God’s curse,” three times, then he stretched but his hand as though he was taking something. When he finished the prayer we said, “Messenger of God, we heard you say something during the prayer which we have not heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand.” He replied, “God’s enemy Iblis came with a flame of fire to put it in my face, so I said three times, ‘I seek refuge in God from you’. Then I said three times, ‘I curse you with God’s perfect curse', but he did not retreat. Thereafter I meant to seize him. I swear by God that had it not been for the supplication of my brother Solomon, he would have been bound and made an object of sport for the Medina children.”* * Cf. the tradition from Abu Huraira, p. 202. There it says, “my brother.” Here it is “our brother”, but the plural is often used for the singular. Muslim transmitted it.
قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فسمعناه يقول : أعوذ بالله منك ثم قال ألعنك بلعنة الله ثلاثا وبسط يده كأنه يتناول شيئا فلما فرغ من الصلاة قلنا يا رسول الله قد سمعناك تقول في الصلاة شيئا لم نسمعك تقوله قبل ذلك ورأيناك بسطت يدك. قال : إن عدو الله إبليس جاء بشهاب من نار ليجعله في وجهي فقلت أعوذ بالله منك ثلاث مرات ثم قلت ألعنك بلعنة الله التامة فلم يستأخر ثلاث مرات ثم أردت أخذه والله لولا دعوة أخينا سليمان لأصبح موثقا يلعب به ولدان أهل المدينةThe Shaykh : This is another story.
