The answer

It is prescribed for one who experiences whispers (waswas) in prayer to seek refuge with Allah from Satan and to spit to their left three times, based on what Muslim narrated in his Sahih that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said concerning the devil of prayer named Khanzab: "When you sense him, seek refuge with Allah from him and spit to your left three times." Repeating Friday prayer at noon due to whispers is an error, for the prayer is sufficient. One must ignore these whispers and turn away from them, because indulging in them leads to great evil.
