أحاديث رجال من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
Hadith 1018:31
Yazid narrated to us, Sufyan informed us, from ‘Asim al-Ahwal, from Abu Tamimah al-Hujaymi, from the one who rode behind the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), or the one who narrated to him from the one who rode behind the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), that he was riding behind him when his mount stumbled. He said: "May the devil perish." He (the Prophet) said: "Do not say that, for he grows great when you say that, until he becomes like a mountain, and he says: 'By my strength I threw him down.' But if you say: 'In the name of Allah (Bismillah),' he shrinks until he becomes like a fly."
حدثنا يزيد، أخبرنا سفيان، عن عاصم الأحول، عن أبي تميمة الهجيمي، عن ردف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، أو من حدثه عن ردف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، أنه كان ردفه فعثرت به دابته فقال: تعس الشيطان، فقال: " لا تفعل، فإنه يتعاظم إذا قلت ذلك، حتى يصير مثل الجبل، ويقول: بقوتي صرعته، وإذا قلت: بسم الله، تصاغر حتى يكون مثل الذباب "
