حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي الْحَذَّاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَجُلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَثَرَتْ دَابَّةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَقُلْ تَعِسَ الشَّيْطَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ تَعَاظَمَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْبَيْتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ بِقُوَّتِي،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ قُلْ:‏‏‏‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ تَصَاغَرَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مِثْلَ الذُّباب .

A man said: I was riding on a mount behind the prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. It stumbled. Thereupon I said: May the devil perish! He said: do not say; may the devil perish! For you say that, he will swell so much so that he will be like a house, and say: by my power. But say: in the name of Allah; for when you say that, he will diminish so much so that he will be like a fly.
