Treating Whispers in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. From Hail, a message was sent by the listener 'A' S G al-Shamri, who asks and says: Is waswasah (whispers) during prayer considered to be from Shaytan? And what is the cure for that? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no doubt that waswasah is from Shaytan, and the cure for it is to focus your heart on your prayer, to keep in mind the greatness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), to seek refuge with Allah
in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
[An-Nahl 16:98]
, to cut off the whispers and thoughts, not to turn to them, and not to engage with them, but rather to reject them and leave them, and to focus on your prayer. Yes.
