Allah the exalted has said:
 
And say: Rabbi '`outhu bika min hamazătish-shayăteeni, wa 'a`outhu bika rabbi 'ay-yahdhurooni.>> (161)

[Come to me meaning in any of my affairs, and for this Allah has commanded us to mention Him iwhenever we start doing things. Meaning in order to expel the shaytăn when eating, slaughtering, etc.] This was Surat 'Al-Mu'minoon (#23) V.98-99.

(162) I seek refuge in Allah the Ever-Hearing, the Ever-Knowing from the despicable shaytăn, from his diabolical possession [madness], from his instigation of pride, and from his erotic verses [poetry]

Suhayl bin Abi Salih said: My father sent me to Banee Hărithata and with me was a young slave, or a friend of ours, then someone called him by his name from a fence, so the one that was with me overlooked upon the fence; however, he did not see anything. So I mentioned that to my father, he said: If I had sensed that you would encounter this I would not have sent you. However, if you ever hear a sound, then make the call to salăt, because I have heard Aba Hurayrata telling, of the Prophet , that he said: "When the salăt is called to, the shaytăn goes (turns) away."

Abu Addardă said: the Messenger of Allah stood up in prayer, then, we heard him say: 'A`outhu bil-lăhi minka (I seek refuge in Allah from you).
 
He then said: 'Al`anuka bila`natil-lăhi (I curse you with the curse of Allah) three times.
 
He then extended his hand as if he was reaching for something. When the prayer was over, we said to him: O' Messenger of Allah! We heard you saying something in the prayer which we have not heard you say before. Then we saw you extend your hand. He said: The enemy of Allah Iblees came with a bright blaze of fire to put in my face. So I said 'A`outhu bil-lăhi minka-- three times
 
Then I said: I curse you with the perfect curse of Allah ('Al`anuka bila`natil-lăhi 'attămmeti-- three times
 
He did not move back, I then wanted to take him, and by Allah were it not for the supplication of our brother Sulaymăn [Prophet Solomon] he would have become all tied up, and game for the children of Madeenah

`Uthmăn bin 'Abil `As said: I said: O' Messenger of Allah! The shaytăn came as a screen between me, my prayer, and my recitation causing me confusion in it ? So he said: "That is a shaytăn called Khanzab, so if you sense him then seek refuge in Allah from him, and spit to your left three times." So I did that, and Allah made him go away from me.
