[039] Supplication for one afflicted by whisperings in prayer or recitation |

'Uthmaan Ibn al-'Aas (radhi-yAllaahu 'anhu) narrated: I said ‘O Messenger of Allaah, verily the devil comes between me and my prayer and recitation making me confused’ The Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) replied ‘That is a devil called Khanzab, so if you sense his presence then seek refuge in Allaah from him and spit on your left side three times.’
