حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ الْعَوَّامِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ مُجَاهِدًا عَنْ السَّجْدَةِ فِي ص قَالَ سُئِلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ أُولَئِکَ الَّذِينَ هَدَی اللَّهُ فَبِهُدَاهُمْ اقْتَدِهْ وَکَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْجُدُ فِيهَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4808
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Last night a demon from the Jinns came to me (or the Prophet said, a similar sentence) to disturb my prayer, but Allah gave me the power to overcome him. I intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the mosque till the morning so that all of you could see him, but then I remembered the Statement of my brother Solomon:--'My Lord! Forgive me and bestow on me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me.' (38.35) The narrator added: Then he (the Prophet) dismissed him, rejected. 'Nor am I one of the pretenders (a person who pretends things which do not exist).' (38.86)
