Mishkat al-Masabih — Hadith #48228

On the authority of Abu al-Darda’, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, stood up and we heard him say: “I seek refuge in God from you.” Then he said: “I curse you with a curse.” “God,” three times, and he extended his hand as if he was grabbing something. When he finished praying, we said, “O Messenger of God, we heard you saying, Prayer is something we had not heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand and say: “Indeed, the enemy of God, Satan, came with a shooting star to put it in My face and I said, “I seek refuge in God from you” three times, then I said: “I curse you with the complete curse of God.” He did not delay it three times then. I wanted to take it, and by God, had it not been for the call of our brother Suleiman, it would have become a binder for the children of the people of the city to play with. Narrated by Muslim
