(31727) [*] (1) Abu (2) Muawiyah narrated to us from Hajjaj from Al-Hakam from Abdur Rahman ibn Yazid from Abdullah who said: Two things are innovations: that a man, after finishing his prayer, stands facing the qiblah and supplicates, and that he performs the second prostration thinking it is obligatory upon him to press his buttocks to the ground before (rising) (3) (4).

Hazrat Abu Ayyub narrates that when I used to be in the platform, a jinn who changes shape would come to me. So I complained about this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you see him, say this: In the name of Allah: Answer the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He says: When he came, So I said these words and caught him. Then he said to me: Indeed, I will not come again. So I released him. I went into the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: What became of your captive? I replied: I caught him. Then he said: I will not come again. Then I let him go. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, he will come again. He says: I caught him two or three times. Each time he said: I will not come again. And you would go to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask: What became of your captive? So you would say: I caught him, then he said: I will not come again, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: Indeed, he will come again. He says: Then I caught him, and he said: Let me go, and I will teach you something, that when you recite it, nothing will come near you; it is Ayat al-Kursi. Then you went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of this, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He has spoken the truth, although he is a liar.
