Abu Ayub reported,

He had a small storage alcove containing dates, and the ghoul kept coming and taking from it. He complained about this to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "Go, and when you see her, say, 'In the name of Allah, answer the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'"So he caught her, and she swore she would not return, so he let her go. He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who asked, "What did your captive do?"He replied, "She swore she would not return."The Prophet said, "She lied. She will return to lying."So he caught her again, and she swore she would not return, and he let her go. He came to the Prophet ﷺ, who asked, "What did your captive do?"He replied, "She swore she would not return."The Prophet said, "She lied. She will return to lying."So he caught her once more and said, "I will not let you go until I take you to the Prophet ﷺ."She said, "Let me tell you something. The Verse of the Throne, recite it in your house, and no devil or anything else will come near you."He came to the Prophet ﷺ, who asked, "What did your captive do?"He told him what she had said. The Prophet said, "She told the truth, though she is a habitual liar."

عن أبي أيوب الأنصاري

أنه كانت له سهوة فيها تمر فكانت تجىء الغول فتأخذ منه قال: فشكا ذلك إلى النبي ﷺ قال: فاذهب فإذا رأيتها فقل: بسم الله أجيبي رسول الله ﷺ قال: فأخذها فحلفت أن لا تعود فأرسلها. فجاء إلى رسول الله ﷺ فقال: ما فعل أسيرك؟ قال: حلفت أن لا تعود فقال: كذبت وهي معاودة للكذب قال: فأخذها مرة أخرى فحلفت أن لا تعود، فأرسلها فجاء إلى النبي ﷺ فقال: ما فعل أسيرك؟ قال: حلفت أن لا تعود فقال: كذبت وهي معاودة للكذب فأخذها فقال: ما أنا بتاركك حتى أذهب بك إلى النبي ﷺ فقالت: إني ذاكرة لك شيئا آية الكرسي اقرأها في بيتك فلا يقربك شيطان ولا غيره قال: فجاء إلى النبي ﷺ فقال: ما فعل أسيرك؟ قال: فأخبره بما قالت قال: صدقت، وهي كذوب.
