The student of knowledge who commits sins; does the statement of Allah the Exalted, “We assign for him a Satan,” apply to him?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am a student of knowledge, and I have sins. Every time I strive to abandon them, Satan quickly whispers to me, and I fall into sin. The question is: does the statement of Allah the Exalted, , apply to me?

Answer:
No, that will not be the case, if Allah wills. But your self is weak, and Satan has not left you. So you must seek refuge in Allah from Satan and accustom your self to staying away from this thing. If you have companions or people you sit with who are of bad character, stay away from them, from bad companions. Do the causes, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) will grant you success in the truth, if Allah wills. Yes.
