I remain hungry. When he drinks, he mentions Allah, so I remain
thirsty. When he wears his clothes, he mentions Allah’s Name, so I
remain naked. When he puts oil in his hair, he mentions Allah’s
Name and I remain disheveled.’ Then the Shaytan of the disbeliever
said, ‘But I am accompanying a man who never does any of the
deeds which you mentioned and I share with him his food, his drink,
his clothing, etc.” [Ihya]
Abul-Maleeh t reports that a man said, “I was behind the
Messenger r and his riding animal stumbled. I said, ‘May
Shaytan perish,’ and he r said, ‘Do not say, ‘May Shaytan
perish.’ If you say that he will grow in size until he becomes
the size of a house and says, ‘By my strength.’ Instead say,
‘In the Name of Allah.’ When you say that, he reduces in size
until he is like a fly.’” [(Saheeh) Abu Dawood]
