13. The Forgotten Sunnah Spitting dryly to ones left side, three times and seeking refuge with Allaah from the devil during prayer when distracted by the devil Amongst the Sunan that many people do not know is spitting dryly to ones left three times and seeking refuge with Allaah from the devil when the devil throw his whispers for the one who is praying. It was narrated that Uthmaan ibn Abil-Aas, may Allaah be pleased with him, came to the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allaah, the shaytaan (i.e. devil) interferes between me and my prayer and my recitation, and he makes me confused. The Messenger of Allaah, peace and blessing be upon him, said: That is a devil called Khinzab. If you feel that, then seek refuge with Allaah from him (e.g Audhu Billahi min-ashaytaanir rajeem) and spit dryly to your left three times. He said: I did that and Allaah took him away from me. [Reported by Muslim] Imam An-Nawawi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said in his Sharh: This Hadeeth indicates that seeking refuge with Allaah The Almighty from the whispers of the devil and spiting dryly to ones left three times is something recommended.
