WHISPERING OF SATAN, THE STONED AND CURSED DURING PRAYER

1052

“When the call to prayer is made, satan turns his back and rushes away noisily (passing wind) so that he does not hear the words of the call. Once the call has finished he returns until the second call to prayer is made, then he runs away again and returns after it has finished to distract the minds of the worshipers, whispering, ‘Remember this, remember that', putting in the mind of the believer irrelevant matters, until he does not know how many units of prayer he has prayed."

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
