The Correct Method for Expelling Satanic Whispers Related to Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We begin with a message from the questioner, Ayn Ayn. He says: O Shaykh, I am always plagued by some satanic whispers about Allah, such as who created Allah, and so on. The question, O Honorable Shaykh Salih, is about how to expel such whispers and the proven means for doing so in such a case. Does this affect my creed? Please guide us in light of this, may you be rewarded.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about a question like this, and about the whispers and thoughts that befall a person. He said (peace and blessings be upon him): If the matter reaches the point of speaking about Allah the Exalted and Majestic, then let him hold his tongue. Say, "I have believed in Allah," and stop. Say, "I have believed in Allah and disbelieved in those other than Him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
has forgiven my Ummah for whatever enters the mind, so long as it is not spoken of or put into actionعفي لأمتي الخطأ والنسيان وما حدثت به أنفسها ما لم تتكلم أو تعمل
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3435Sahih (Darussalam)
Some of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) complained to him about what they found of this. He said (peace and blessings be upon him): Praise be to Allah, that is pure faith. Because they mentioned to him that they dislike this thing, and that one of them would wish to be thrown from a height rather than speak of it. He said: Praise be to Allah, that is sincere faith. Yes.
