How to get rid of Satan's whispers during wudu'?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, the truth is there is a question arising from the brother's question about wudu'. Satan may whisper to a person during wudu' or during the prayer. What is the Muslim's position regarding these whispers that overtake him, whether in wudu' or in the prayer?

Answer:
One should leave the whispers alone and seek refuge in Allah from Satan, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that there is a devil called al-Walhan who whispers to those performing wudu' to distract them and make them doubt their wudu'. So the Muslim should say Bismillah at the beginning, then start the wudu', and never pay attention to the whispers; they should not concern him, and he should proceed with his wudu' as Allah the Exalted has prescribed. Yes.
