Question

Is there a Hadith that states that Shaytan enters the mouth when a person yawns?

 

Answer

Yes. Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded the following Hadith in his Sahih:

Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id Al Khudri (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “When one of you yawns, he should place his hand on his mouth, for Shaytan enters.”

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2995)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

حدثني أبو غسان المسمعي مالك بن عبد الواحد، حدثنا بشر بن المفضل، حدثنا سهيل بن أبي صالح، قال: سمعت ابنا لأبي سعيد الخدري، يحدث أبي، عن أبيه، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «إذا تثاءب أحدكم، فليمسك بيده على فيه، فإن الشيطان يدخل».
