Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ عَنْ رِدْفِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ رِدْفِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ فَعَثَرَ فَقَالَ الَّذِي خَلْفَهُ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ لَا تَقُلْ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ تَعَاظَمَ وَقَالَ بِعِزَّتِي صَرَعْتُكَ وَإِذَا قُلْتَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَصَاغَرَ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ ذُبَابٍ.
English Translation
The riding companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) narrated that the Prophet was riding a donkey when it stumbled. The one behind him said: 'May the devil perish!' The Prophet said: 'Do not say may the devil perish, for when you say may the devil perish, he swells with pride and says: By my might, I brought him down. But when you say Bismillah (In the name of Allah), he shrinks until he becomes like a fly.'
