حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ، عَنْ رِدْفِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَوْ مَنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ رِدْفِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ رِدْفَهُ فَعَثَرَتْ بِهِ دَابَّتُهُ فَقَالَ: تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ، فَقَالَ: " لَا تَفْعَلْ، فَإِنَّهُ يَتَعَاظَمُ إِذَا قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ، حَتَّى يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ، وَيَقُولُ: بِقُوَّتِي صَرَعْتُهُ، وَإِذَا قُلْتَ: بِسْمِ اللهِ، تَصَاغَرَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مِثْلَ الذُّبَابِ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from a Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was riding a donkey behind the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). Suddenly, the donkey shied, and I uttered, "May the devil be ruined." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not say this, because when you say this phrase, the devil considers himself very great and says, 'I have overpowered him with my strength.' But when you say 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah), he becomes so insignificant in his own eyes that he becomes even smaller than a fly."
