أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمِقْسَمِيُّ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ فَقَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ ذَهَبَ إِلَی بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَتَجَسَّسْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَاکِعٌ أَوْ سَاجِدٌ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَکَ وَبِحَمْدِکَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي إِنَّکَ لَفِي شَأْنٍ وَإِنِّي لَفِي شَأْنٍ آخَرَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3417
It was narrated from ‘Ubadah bin Al-Walid bin ‘Ubadah bin A-Samit that ‘Aishah said: “I looked for the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and I put my hand on his hair.” He said: “Your Shaitan has come to you.” I said: “Don’t you have a Shaitan?” He said: “Yes, but Allah helped me with him, so he submitted.” (Sahih)
