Uthman bin Abu al-As reported that he came to Allahs Messenger ﷺ and said: Allahs Messenger, the Satan intervenes between me and my prayer and my reciting of the Quran and he confounds me. Thereupon Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: That is (the doing of the Satan) who is known as Khinzab, and when you perceive its effect, seek refuge with Allah from it and spit three times to your left. I did that and Allah dispelled that from me.
