What is the validity of the statement of one who is afflicted with a sin: "Satan has afflicted me with it, for Satan tests with evil, and Allah tests with good"?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some people, when they are afflicted with a sin, say, "Satan has afflicted me with it; Satan tests with evil, and Allah tests with good." Is this statement correct?

Answer:
Say, "Everything is from Allah" So the good deed is a favor from Allah that Allah granted you, and the bad deed is from yourself; you are the one who did it and you are the one who caused it. Do not attribute it to Shaytan; you attribute your actions to Shaytan.
Seek forgiveness from your Lord, repent to Allah, and admit your sin. Satan laughs and rejoices if you say this. But if you seek forgiveness, Satan becomes angry and his back is broken by the seeking of forgiveness. As for if you say, "This is from Satan," Satan rejoices in this. But if you say, "I seek Allah's forgiveness and I repent to Him," Satan is disappointed and humiliated, and he suffers from humiliation that none knows except Allah. The believers have not broken Satan's back except by seeking forgiveness. He says, "I destroyed them with sins, and they destroyed me with seeking forgiveness." So you should seek forgiveness. Do not say, "This is from Satan." Yes.
