Hadith 21:3

Ibn Fudayl narrated to us, from ‘Ata’ ibn al-Sa’ib, from Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman, from ‘Abdullah, from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), that he used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the devil, from his *hamz* (stifling/madness), his *nafth* (incantation/poetry), and his *nafkh* (arrogance)." He said: "His *hamz* is the *mawta* (epilepsy/fainting), his *nafth* is poetry, and his *nafkh* is arrogance."

حدثنا بن فضيل عن عطاء بن السائب عن أبي عبد الرحمن عن عبد الله عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه كان يقول اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الشيطان من همزه ونفثه ونفخه قال فهمزه الموتة ونفثه الشعر ونفخه الكبر
