Sahih Muslim 389i (Book 5, Hadith 106) #8420
The Devil's Tactics During Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the devil running away when prayer begins and trying to distract people from praying by making them think of pleasant things.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah said: The devil takes to his heels breaking wind when the prayer begins. and the rest is the same but with this addition:" He (the devil) makes him think of pleasant things (or things productive of enjoyment) and of the things wished for, and reminds him of such needs which he had forgotten".
حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ إِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَلَّى وَلَهُ ضُرَاطٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَزَادَ ‏"‏ فَهَنَّاهُ وَمَنَّاهُ وَذَكَّرَهُ مِنْ حَاجَاتِهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the tactics of the devil during prayer. It is said that when a person starts to pray, the devil takes off running and tries to distract them from their prayers by making them think of pleasant things or things they wish for. He also reminds them of needs which they have forgotten. This shows us how important it is to stay focused on our prayers and not let anything else come in between us and Allah SWT. We should be aware that Satan will try his best to make us forget our purpose in life which is worshipping Allah SWT so we must remain vigilant against his tricks.
