Abu
Sufyan reported it on the authority of Jabir that he had heard the Messenger of

reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:
When
Satan hears the call to prayer, he turns back and breaks the wind so as not to
hear the call being made, but when the call is finished he turns round and
distracts (the minds of those who pray), and when he hears the Iqama, he again
runs away so as not to hear its voice and when it subsides, he comes back and
distracts (the minds of those who stand for prayer). (Explaining

reported that his father sent him to Banu Haritha along with a boy or a man.
Someone called him by his name from an enclosure. He (the narrator) said:
The
person with me looked towards the enclosure, but saw nothing. I made a mention of
that to my father. He said: If I knew that you would meet such a situation I
would have never sent you (there), but (bear in wind) whenever you hear such a
call (from the evil spirits) pronounce the Adhan, for I have heard Abu Huraira
say that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Whenever Adhan is
proclaimed, Satan runs back vehemently. (Explaining

Apostle (ﷺ) said when the call to prayer is made, Satan runs back and breaks
wind so as not to hear the call being made, and when the call is finished, he
turns round. When Iqama is proclaimed he turns his back, and when it is
finished he turns round to distract a man, saying: Remember such and such;
remember such and such, referring to something the man did not have in his
mind, with the result that he does not know how much he has prayed. (Explaining
