Guidance for one who is overcome by yawning in prayer

Question:
From Syria, Salah from Aleppo says: When I stand to perform the obligatory prayer, I yawn a lot and try to prevent this yawning, but I am unable to. I also get distracted in prayer at many times; I forget how many units I have prayed. So I ask you to guide me to a way to be saved from this shortcoming, and may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is from Shaytan, and you must seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan, and strive in the means of alertness. Asking Allah... seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, and reading whatever is easy of the Qur'an, and not lengthening... the lengthening that is difficult for you and brings on drowsiness. And you ask your Lord to help you, to make you successful, and to grant you alertness and strength; because Shaytan is an enemy to the servant who makes him lazy, makes him doubt, deludes him, and whispers to him. So jihad is necessary, jihad of the self and jihad of Shaytan is necessary. So jihad of the self is through the means of alertness, such as wudu' and consuming what gives alertness, like wudu' and coffee... the thing that gives alertness for standing in night prayer. And it is necessary to seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan when the whispers come. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
