Hadith.983 - Ismail ibn Muslim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his forefathers (as) that: "The Messenger of Allah (sw) was approached by a man who said
'O’ Messenger of Allah (sw), I complain to you about the whispers (waswasah) I experience during my prayers, to the point that I no longer comprehend what I have prayed, whether I have added something or omitted something.' The Messenger of Allah (sw) responded: 'When you enter into your prayer, strike your left thigh with your right index finger, then say: "In the name of Allah (swt), and with Allah (swt), I place my trust in Allah (swt). I seek refuge with Allah (swt), the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the accursed Devil." By doing this, you will strike him and ward him off, and he will be driven away from you.'".
984 - رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ
يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ إِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو مَا أَلْقَى مِنَ اَلْوَسْوَسَةِ فِي صَلاَتِي حَتَّى لاَ أَعْقِلُ مَا صَلَّيْتُ مِنْ زِيَادَةٍ أَوْ نُقْصَانٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «إِذَا دَخَلْتَ فِي صَلاَتِكَ فَاطْعُنْ فَخِذَكَ اَلْيُسْرَى بِإِصْبَعِكَ اَلْيُمْنَى اَلْمُسَبِّحَةِ ثُمَّ قُلْ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اَللَّهِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ اَلسَّمِيعِ اَلْعَلِيمِ مِنَ اَلشَّيْطَانِ اَلرَّجِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَنْحَرُهُ وَ تَزْجُرُهُ وَ تَطْرُدُهُ عَنْكَ ».
