Sahih Muslim 542 (Book 5, Hadith 51) #8366
Seeking Refuge from Iblis

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Prophet Muhammad's encounter with Iblis and how he was able to ward him off by seeking refuge in Allah and cursing him with Allah's full curse.

Abu Darda' reported: Allah's Messenger ﷺ stood up (to pray) and we heard him say:" I seek refuge in Allah from thee". Then said:" curse thee with Allah's curse" three times, then he stretched out his hand as though he was taking hold of something. When he finished the prayer, we said: Messenger of Allah, we heard you say something during the prayer which we have not heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand. He replied: Allah's enemy Iblis came with a flame of fire to put it in my face, so I said three times:" I Seek refuge in Allah from thee". Then I said three times:" I curse thee with Allah's full curse". But he did not retreat (on any one of these) three occasions. Thereafter I meant to seize him. I swear by Allah that had it not been for the supplication of my brother Sulaiman he would have been bound, and made an object of sport for the children of Medina.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ 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 فِي الصَّلاَةِ شَيْئًا لَمْ نَسْمَعْكَ تَقُولُهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ وَرَأَيْنَاكَ بَسَطْتَ يَدَكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ إِبْلِيسَ جَاءَ بِشِهَابٍ مِنْ نَارٍ لِيَجْعَلَهُ فِي وَجْهِي 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

QUICK LESSONS:
Seek refuge in God whenever faced with difficulty or danger; use words for good purposes such as seeking protection from evil forces or enemies; pray regularly; have faith that God will protect you no matter what happens; trust your instincts if something doesn't feel right; stay away from bad influences/people who may lead you astray; be mindful of your actions at all times because they can have consequences later on down the line.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith recounts an incident where the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was praying when he encountered the devil, Iblis. He immediately sought refuge in Allah from him three times and then cursed him with Allah's full curse three times as well. Despite this, Iblis did not retreat so the Prophet ﷺ intended to seize him but was prevented from doing so due to a supplication of his brother Sulaiman. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek refuge in Allah when faced with any kind of difficulty or danger and that we should never underestimate the power of prayer or supplication even if it seems like nothing is happening at first. It also shows us how powerful our words can be when used for good purposes such as seeking protection from evil forces or enemies.
