It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for prayer at night, after the takbir he would recite «سُبْحَانَكَ اَللّٰھُمَّ ........... نفثه ونفخه» : "O Allah! You are pure, all praise is for You, Your name is blessed, Your majesty is exalted, and there is no deity except You. I seek refuge with Allah, the All-Hearing, All-Knowing, from the accursed Satan, from his evil suggestions, arrogance, and sorcery." Then he would begin the prayer." The narrator of the hadith, Ja'far, said: Matar explained «همزه» as madness, «نفثه» as (magical) knots, and «نفخه» as arrogance. That is, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the accursed Satan and from the madness, sorcery, and arrogance he imposes."
