Remembrance 3 from Chapter 264

A‘ūdhu bi-llāhi mina-sh-Shayṭāni-r-rajīm.

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim that Sulaymān ibn Surād , a Companion, reported: “I was [once] sitting with the Messenger of Allah when two men were swearing at each other. The face of one of them had become red and the veins on his neck were swollen. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘I will teach him something which, if he says it, will make what he is experiencing go away. If he says: ‘I seek protection in Allah from Shayṭān the outcast,’ what he is experiencing will go away.’ They told [the man who was angry]: ‘The Prophet said: “Seek protection from Shayṭān the rejected.”’ Then the man said: ‘Am I mad?’” ^[6].
