عن عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ رضي الله عنه: أنه أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ صَلَاتِي وَقِرَاءَتِي يَلْبِسُهَا عَلَيَّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ذَاكَ شَيْطَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ خِنْزَِبٌ، فَإِذَا أَحْسَسْتَهُ فَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنْهُ، وَاتْفُلْ عَلَى يَسَارِكَ ثَلَاثًا»، قَالَ: فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ اللهُ عَنِّي.
Kutoka kwa Othman bin Abil Aswi -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake-: Yakwamba yeye alimwendea Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- akasema: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, hakika shetani amekaa kati yangu na swala yangu na kisomo changu ananichanganya, akasema Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake-: "Huyo ni Shetani anaitwa Khinzab, ukimuhisi basi haraka sana taka ulinzi kutoka kwa Allah dhidi yake, na uteme kushotoni kwako mara tatu", anasema: Nikafanya hivyo Mwenyezi Mungu akamuondosha kwangu.
‘Uthmān ibn Abi al-‘Ās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, Satan intervenes between me and my prayer and my recitation of the Qur'an, confounding me." So, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is Satan who is known as Khinzab. If you perceive his effect, seek refuge with Allah from him and spit three times to your left." He said: I did that, and Allah caused him to depart from me.
Umuhimu wa utulivu na kuhudhurisha moyo ndani ya sala, na kuwa Shetani anajitahidi kutia tashiwishi na shaka ndani yake.
Sunna ya kutaka ulinzi kutokana na shetani wakati wa wasi wasi wake ndani ya sala, pamoja na kutema kushoto mara tatu.
Kumebainishwa waliyokuwa nayo Masahaba -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yao- katika swala la kurudi kwao kwa Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- katika yale yanayojitokeza kwao miongoni mwa changamoto ili azitatue.
Maisha ya nyoyo za Masahaba, na kwamba hima yao kubwa ilikuwa ni Akhera.
