On one occasion, Hazrat Uthman bin Abi Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! (peace be upon him) Satan comes between me and my prayer and recitation." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The name of that Satan is Khanzab. When you feel this, recite 'A'udhu billah' and spit lightly three times to your left." He says, "I did so, and Allah removed it from me." The previous hadith is narrated through this second chain.
