حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَابْنُ قُدَامَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ ذَرٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ جَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا يَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِهِ يُعَرِّضُ بِالشَّيْئِ لَأَنْ يَکُونَ حُمَمَةً أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَکَلَّمَ بِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَدَّ کَيْدَهُ إِلَی الْوَسْوَسَةِ قَالَ ابْنُ قُدَامَةَ رَدَّ أَمْرَهُ مَکَانَ رَدَّ کَيْدَهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5112
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah! one of us has thoughts of such nature that he would rather be reduced to charcoal than speak about them. He said: Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great. Praise be to Allah Who has reduced the guile of the devil to evil prompting. Ibn Qudamah said "reduced his matter" instead of "reduced his guile". Ibn Qudamah said "reduced his matter" instead of "reduced his guile".
