Sahih Muslim Book - 5, Hadith - 1211

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِى رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِى إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلاَنِىِّ عَنْ أَبِى الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَسَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ « أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْكَ ». ثُمَّ قَالَ « أَلْعَنُكَ بِلَعْنَةِ اللَّهِ ». ثَلاَثًا. وَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَنَاوَلُ شَيْئًا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ سَمِعْنَاكَ تَقُولُ فِى الصَّلاَةِ شَيْئًا لَمْ نَسْمَعْكَ تَقُولُهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ وَرَأَيْنَاكَ بَسَطْتَ يَدَكَ. قَالَ « إِنَّ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ إِبْلِيسَ جَاءَ بِشِهَابٍ مِنْ نَارٍ لِيَجْعَلَهُ فِى وَجْهِى فَقُلْتُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْكَ. ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ أَلْعَنُكَ بِلَعْنَةِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَأْخِرْ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَخْذَهُ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلاَ دَعْوَةُ أَخِينَا سُلَيْمَانَ لأَصْبَحَ مُوثَقًا يَلْعَبُ بِهِ وِلْدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ».

It was narrated that Abu Ad-Darda' said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) stood up (to offer prayers) and we heard him saying: 'I seek refuge with Allah from you.' Then he said: 'I curse you with the curse of Allah' - (and he repeated it) three times, and he stretched out his hand as if to take something. When he had finished the prayers, we said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we heard you say something during the prayer that we have not heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand.' He said: 'The enemy of Allah, Iblis, came with a brand of fire to throw it in my face, and I said: "I seek refuge with Allah from you," three times. Then I said: "I curse you with the curse of Allah," - three times but he did not go back. Then I wanted to seize him, and by Allah, were it not for the prayer of our brother Sulaiman, peace be upon him, this morning he would have been tied up and the children of the people of Al-Madinah would have played with him"'
