When are the intrusive thoughts that come to a Muslim considered a clear manifestation of faith?

Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Are the satanic intrusive thoughts that come to a Muslim servant considered a clear manifestation of faith? And what is obligatory for the Muslim regarding them?

Answer:
Intrusive thoughts come to a person, but if he hates them and hates speaking about them, that is a clear manifestation of faith, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said when one of the Companions told him that things come to him that he would wish to throw himself from a mountain rather than speak about them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So if these imaginations or these intrusive thoughts come to a Muslim, and then he hates them and refuses to speak about them, that is evidence of his faith.
