Yawning is from Shaytaan and it may invalidate your Salah

abdurrahman.meda

The one who yawns in general, and while praying specifically, is commanded with restraint (repelling the yawn) as much as he is able. The yawner is also enjoined to refrain from reciting, in order to avoid omitting some letters or words (from the recitation).
It is known that the Al Faatiha (Opening Chapter in the Quran) is a pillar from the pillars of the prayer, and it is incumbent upon the praying person to read it, while paying attention to its letters and words; if he omits a letter or reads the doubled consonant sound as though it has only one consonant or makes a mistake that alters the meaning, while having the ability to pronounce it correctly and he does not correct the mistake, then his prayer is invalid.
If the yawner reads while he is yawning perhaps he will omit –in most cases- letters or even words thus breaking his prayer if he omits something from the Al Faatiha, so it is imperative to give attention to this affair.
Here is the issue:
Narrated from Abu Huraira, ??? ???? ???, that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

Yawning is from satan, so if one of you yawns let him restrain it as much as he is able, and if he says “ah” satan laughs at him. (Narrated by Bukari)

Another wording of the hadith:

Yawning in the prayer is from satan, so if one of you yawns let him suppress it as much as he is able.

Imam Malik ???? ???? said,
“He covers his mouth in prayer in order to block his yawning, so if he recites while yawning and what he recites is understood then this action is hated although it shall count for him. If what he recites is not understood he must repeat what he recited, if he does not repeat what he recited and the recitation was from the Al Faatiha then it will not count; if it was from elsewhere it will count.
Imam An Nawawi ???? ???? said:
If the person yawns he should refrain from reciting until he finishes yawning, then he should recite; this was said by Mujahid, and this is correct. It is proven by what has been authenticated upon Abi Saeed Al Khudari ??? ???? ???, he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

If one of you yawns then let him cover his mouth with his hand, because surely satan will enter him. (Narrated by Muslim)

Hafidh ibn Hajar ???? ???? said:
The yawning person when praying has been commanded to refrain from reciting until his finishes yawning so that he does not alter his method of recitation.

Seeking refuge after Yawning by Sheik Uthaimin
Question:
May ALLAH give you good, sozme people say after yawning “I seek refuge in Allaah from the accursed satan.” Is this mentioned anywhere?
Answer:
This is not mentioned, meaning it is not found (in the Quran or Sunna) that the person should say upon yawning, I seek refuge in Allaah from the accursed satan. Rather it is only mentioned that the person should repress the yawn as much as he is able and if he is not able then he should place his hand over his mouth. And the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him and his family, directed us towards this action at the time of yawning and he didn’t say, “And also seek refuge with Allaah from the accursed satan.” So if someone says, “Did Allaah not say, {And if an evil whisper comes to you from Satan then seek refuge with Allaah . Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.}(Chapter 7 verse 20) And the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him and his family, has informed us that yawning is from satan.
So the answer is, all of this is correct; Allaah says this, {meaning the above verse) and the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him informed us that yawning is from satan. But, what is intended by {????? }“an evil whisper” in this noble verse is to preoccupy the person with evil. Either by leaving off something which is obligatory or by doing something prohibited. So if the person feels that he is being stressed with this then he should say, “I seek refuge with Allaah from the accused satan.” As for yawning then the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him has taught us what is legislated to do at the time of yawning.
