Sahih Muslim Book - 5, Hadith - 1209

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ عِفْرِيتًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ جَعَلَ يَفْتِكُ عَلَىَّ الْبَارِحَةَ لِيَقْطَعَ عَلَىَّ الصَّلاَةَ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمْكَنَنِى مِنْهُ فَذَعَتُّهُ فَلَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَرْبِطَهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِى الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى تُصْبِحُوا تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَجْمَعُونَ - أَوْ كُلُّكُمْ - ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ أَخِى سُلَيْمَانَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِى وَهَبْ لِى مُلْكًا لاَ يَنْبَغِى لأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِى. فَرَدَّهُ اللَّهُ خَاسِئًا ». وَقَالَ ابْنُ مَنْصُورٍ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ.

Abu Hurairah said "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'An 'Ifrit (demon) from among the jinn tried to catch me unawares yesterday, to interrupt my prayer. But Allah enabled me to defeat him and I grabbed him by the neck. I thought of tying him to one of the pillars in the Masjid, so that you could all have seen him this morning. Then I remembered the prayer of my brother Sulaiman: "...My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me...", so Allah caused him (the jinn) to be defeated."
