Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the reason that some people seek refuge from Satan when reciting, yet still feel Satan’s disruption and his whispers toward them?
Answer:
Because they seek refuge with their tongues only, without bringing to mind the meaning of seeking refuge in their hearts. Their intention is only the words. The intention is for the heart to be present when seeking refuge, and for one to know the meaning of seeking refuge and believe in it, so that one benefits from seeking refuge. Yes.
