Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ عَمَّنْ كَانَ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كُنْتُ رَدِيفَهُ عَلَى حِمَارٍ فَعَثَرَ الْحِمَارُ فَقُلْتُ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَقُلْ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ تَعَاظَمَ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَقَالَ صَرَعْتُهُ بِقُوَّتِي فَإِذَا قُلْتَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَصَاغَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَصْغَرَ مِنْ ذُبَابٍ.
English Translation
'Abd al-Razzaq told us, Ma'mar informed us, from 'Asim, from Abu Tamima al-Hujaymi, from someone who used to ride behind the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: I was riding behind him on a donkey, and the donkey stumbled. I said, "May Satan perish!" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me, "Do not say 'may Satan perish,' for when you say that, Satan grows greater in himself and says, 'I threw him down by my own strength.' But when you say 'In the name of Allah,' he shrinks until he becomes smaller than a fly."
