Khanzab
A demon who casts doubt at the time of prayer. ‘Usman ibn Abi ‘l-Asi relates that he came to the Prophet and complained that he was disturbed by the devil during prayers. The Prophet said, "This is a demon called Khanzab who disturbs prayer. When you are aware of any such disturbances, seek protection of God and spit over your left shoulder three times." ‘Usman did so, and all doubt and perplexity was dispelled.

"The Reverend reads the speech, makes it his own and it takes on a feel that is both modern and rings of the past. The message of the speech still carries weight today and is complimented by the unified funk grooves the drums bring." Colin Tribby
