28- 573-On the authority of Aasim bin Umar bin Qatadah on the authority of his father on the authority of his grandfather Qatadah bin Nu’maan who said:
It was a very dark and rainy night, so I said: ‘What if I could benefit on this night by attending the Isha prayer with the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-! Then I would definitely do so.’
When the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- went out, he saw me and he had a date-palm branch with a cluster of dates on it with which he was walking. So he said: ‘What are you doing, O Qatadah, here at this hour?’
I said: ‘I benefitted by attending the prayer with you O Messenger of Allaah.’
Then he gave me the date-palm branch with the cluster of dates on it and said: ‘Indeed the Shaytaan has gone behind you to your family, so take this date-palm branch and go, hold onto it until you reach your house, then take him behind your house and beat him with this.’
I left the Masjid, then the date-palm branch lit up like the light of a candle so I could see my way with it. When I came to my family I found them sleeping, I then looked in the corner of the room and saw a hedgehog so I continued to beat it with the date-palm branch until it left.

29- 574- On the authority of Salim on the authority of Ibn Umar who said: I was a young single man at the time of the Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- and I would sleep in the masjid. Whoever amongst us saw a dream would narrate it to the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam.
So I said ‘O Allaah if I have any good with You, let me see a dream which the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam will interpret for me.’
When I slept, I saw a dream that two Angels came and took me. They met another Angel who said: ‘Don’t fear,’ so they took me to the Hellfire and it was folded like the walls surround the inside of a well. It had people in there, some of whom I knew. They took a hold of me from my right side. When I awoke in the morning, I mentioned it to Hafsa.
Hafsa decided to narrate it to the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- who said: ‘Indeed Abdullaah is a righteous man if he would pray much in the night.’
Then Salim said: ‘So Abdullaah used to pray much in the night.’

30- 575 - On the authority of Abu al-Muneeb who said that Ibn Umar saw a young person who excessively prolonged the prayer, so he said: ‘Do any of you know this person?’ A man said: ‘I know him.’
