Arabic Text

English Translation

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us, he said: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Murrah, from ʿĀṣim al-ʿAnazī, from Ibn Jubayr ibn Muṭʿim, from his father. And Yazīd ibn Hārūn said: from Nāfiʿ ibn Jubayr ibn Muṭʿim, from his father, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when he entered into prayer say: 'Allāhu akbar kabīrā, Allāhu akbar kabīrā, Allāhu akbar kabīrā, al-ḥamdu lillāhi bukratan wa aṣīlā' — three times — 'subḥān Allāhi bukratan wa aṣīlā' — three times — 'O Allāh, I seek refuge in You from the accursed Shayṭān, from his hamz, his nafkh, and his nafth.' ʿUmar said: His hamz is the seizure (like madness), his nafkh is arrogance, and his nafth is (evil) poetry.
