Is there an authentic Hadith from the Prophet, peace be upon him, that narrates a gathering between him and Iblis, and is it possible to know its text?
It is authentically reported in the Sahihayn that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Satan presented himself to me and pressed hard upon me to interrupt my prayer, but Allah enabled me to overcome him, so I choked him. I had intended to tie him to one of the pillars until you wake up so you could all look at him. But then I remembered the saying of Sulayman, peace be upon him: '(My Lord, grant me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me),' so Allah repelled him disgraced." The meaning of "I choked him" is "I throttled him." And in another narration, it is reported: "Indeed, an 'ifrit from the jinn burst upon me last night."
