The Shaykh : Also, His saying
Satan urinated in his ears. بال الشيطان في أذنه
Sahih al-Bukhari 1144
so that he does not hear the adhan of Fajr, contains evidence of Satan’s influence over a person when he sleeps. There is another place, which is that Satan spends the night on the nose of the sleeper, due to the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to spit out three times after sleeping, and he said
for the Shaitan spends the night on his nose. إن الشيطان يبيت على خيشومه
Sunan an-Nasa'i 90Sahih (Darussalam)
. And there is a third matter, which is the palms, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
When anyone amongst you wakes up from sleep, he must not put his hand in the utensil till he has washed it three times, for he does not know where his hand was during the night. إذا استيقظ أحدكم من نومه فلا يغمس يده في الإناء حتى يغسلها ثلاثا فإن أحدكم لا يدري أين باتت يده
Sahih Muslim 278a
. It appears, and Allah knows best, that Satan has influence over the palms, because with them one takes and gives and purifies oneself while a person is sleeping, by analogy to the nose. These matters are among the unseen, and therefore no tangible consequence follows from them. Otherwise, it is known that the urine of Satan is ritually impure, and yet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order this man to wash his ears. It is possible that the urine mentioned here is a euphemism for the fact that he did not hear the adhan, as evidenced by the fact that he was not ordered to wash his ears. However, it is more likely to say that it is actual urine, but because it is in the realm of the unseen, the ruling of what is observed and felt does not apply to it. Among the benefits of this is the warning against sleeping until morning, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that this is among Satan’s influences over him. Yes.
