It is narrated about Hazrat Uthman bin Abu al-As that he presented himself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Indeed, Satan comes between me and my prayer and my recitation." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the devil who is called Khanzab. So when you feel his presence, spit three times to your left and seek refuge with Allah from his evil."
