In the Hindu faith, Hanuman and Vinayaka are two aspects of God not afflicted by Shani. There is also a belief that all the planets are under the control of Hanuman's tail. Whoever worships Hanuman is granted fortitude and strength.
In the Ramayana, Hanuman is said to have rescued Shani, that is, the planet Saturn, from the clutches of Ravana. In gratitude, Shani promised Hanuman that those who prayed to him (Hanuman) would be rescued from the painful effects of Saturn, which in Hindu astrology, is said to produce malefic effects on one's life when one is afflicted "negatively" with Saturn.
Another version of the encounter between Lord Hanuman and Shani Bhagavan is that the latter once climbed on to Lord Hanuman's shoulder, implying that he (Hanuman) was coming under the effects of the influence of Shani. At this, Hanuman assumed a large size, and Shani was caught painfully between Hanuman's shoulders and the ceiling of the room they were in. As the pain was unbearable, Shani requested Hanuman to release him, promising that if a person prayed to Hanuman, he (Shani) would moderate the malefic effects of his influence on that person; following this, Hanuman released Shani.
There is a spiritual interpretation of the relation between Lord Hanuman and Lord Shani. The former is said to be a symbol of selflessness, while the latter is symbolic of ego and pride. Thus, to counter the karma borne out of selfish action, one must be humble like Lord Hanuman. This is particularly true for those who are said to be experiencing the evil effects of Sade Sati - a period of about seven and half years when Saturn (Lord Shani) is supposed to afflict the sign in which "planet," the moon is placed in the natal chart of a person.
Alternatively, it is also considered that one who prays to Vishnu is protected from Saturn as he is said by some to be a great devotee of Vishnu

Shani is son of Sun. Hanuman is Ansha-avtaar of Lord Shiva.
Hanuman defeated Shani, so shani is afraid of Hanuman.

The Lord Hanuman and Shani's relationship started when Hanuman burned Lanka. During that time Shani was prisioned by Pandit Ravana and Hanuman freed him. At that time their relationship started. As shani never bother about the position of anyone, he always do his duties. So when Hanuman get sadesati. Shani troubled him and at that time hanuman beat him.

and further to Sharmaji's post. Hanuman then beat Shani and shani asked for forgiveness. then Hanuman asked Shani to promise that he will not trouble much Hanuman Bhaktas. That is why those troubled by Shani worship Hanuman on tuesday and shani becomes peaceful

i will add a little to Chamunda ji, that whenever a man got sadesati he just start doing all the likes of Hanuman Ji. and one more thing that Shani is son of god Sun who was the teacher of Hanuman Ji. and Hanuman also got shani to him also.
