The Noble
Qur'an - An-Naas 114
1. Say: "I seek refuge with (Allāh)
the Lord of mankind,
2. "The King of mankind,
3. "The Ilāh (God) of mankind,
4. "From the evil of the
whisperer (devil who whispers evil in the hearts of men) who
withdraws (from his whispering in one's heart after one
remembers Allāh),
5. "Who whispers in the
breasts of mankind,
6. "Of jinns and men."
The Noble Qur'an - Al-An'aam
6:128
And on the Day when He will
gather them (all) together (and say): "O you assembly of jinns!
Many did you mislead of men," ...
The Noble Qur'an - Al-'Anaam
6:112
And so We have appointed for
every Prophet enemies - Shayātin (devils) among mankind and
jinns, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a
delusion (or by way of deception)....
The Noble Qur'an - An-Nahl
16:99-100
Verily! He has no power over
those who believe and put their trust only in their Lord (Allāh).
His power is only over those
who obey and follow him (Satan), and those who join partners
with Him (Allāh) [i.e. those who are Mushrikūn - polytheists -
see Verse 6:121].
The Noble Qur'an -
Ibrahiim 14:22
And Shaitān (Satan) will say when
the matter has been decided: "Verily, Allāh promised you a
promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you.
I had no authority over you except that I called you, so you
responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I
cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in
associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allāh (by obeying me
in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment
for the Zālimūn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)."
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Israa'
17:61-65
And (remember) when We said to
the angels: "Prostrate unto Adam." They prostrated except
Iblīs (Satan). He said: "Shall I prostrate to one whom You
created from clay?"
[Iblīs (Satan)] said:
"See? This one whom You have honoured above me, if You give me
respite (keep me alive) to the Day of Resurrection, I will
surely seize and mislead his offspring (by sending them astray)
all but a few!"
(Allāh) said: "Go, and
whosoever of them follows you, surely! Hell will be the
recompense of you (all) an ample recompense.
"And Istafziz
[literally means: befool them gradually] those whom you can
among them with your voice (i.e. songs, music, and any other
call for Allāh's disobedience), make assaults on them with your
cavalry and your infantry, mutually share with them wealth and
children (by tempting them to earn money by illegal ways usury,
etc., or by committing illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), and
make promises to them." But Satan promises them nothing but
deceit.
"Verily! My slaves (i.e the
true believers of Islāmic Monotheism), you have no authority
over them. And All-Sufficient is your Lord as a Guardian."
Supplication for one afflicted
by whisperings in prayer or recitation...
Hadith - Sahih Muslim
5463, Narrated Uthman ibn Abul'As, r.a.
Uthman came to Allah's Messenger
and said: Allah's Messenger, the Satan intervenes between me
and my prayer and my reciting of the Qur'an and he confounds
me. Thereupon Allah's Messenger
said:
That is (the doing of the Satan) who is
known as Khinzab, and when you perceive its effect, seek refuge
with Allah from it and spit* three times to your left. I
did that and Allah dispelled that from me.
