حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَن
ْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي أَحَدَكُمْ وَهُوَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَيَأْخُذُ شَعْرَةً مِنْ دُبُرِهِ فَيَمُدُّهَا فَيَرَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ فَلَا يَنْصَرِفَنَّ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيحًا

Abu Bakr and Umar are among them and how excellent they are!"
