The first question of Fatwa number ( 18416 )
Q 1: I am an old woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day, and I am committed to what Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. However, I have been afflicted with a severe illness, a tightness in my chest. I do not see my son or my son's children, and when I see them I weep intensely at times. At other times I am content with them, and the illness moves to my head and neck. Sometimes doubts come to me regarding the prayer. I went to the hospitals and nothing benefited me. I am afraid that I may be sinful when I get angry at my son, who is ill, and praise be to Allah. So what do you advise me, O honorable Shaykh? May Allah reward you with good, regarding the distress I am in?
A 1: We advise you to fear Allah the Exalted and seek refuge in Him (Glorified and Exalted is He) from the accursed Shaytan, and not to pay attention to these obsessions and doubts, for they are from Shaytan. And it was narrated by Ahmadand Abu Dawud with a sound chain. And from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)—he attributed it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the correct view is that it stops at him—: . And you should, in this matter, increase in the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, seeking forgiveness, reciting the Noble Qur'an, and seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, and seek healing with the opening
The Book, and Say: He is Allah, the One, and the two chapters of seeking refuge, which are: (Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn) and (Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind), and with the Verse of the Throne. The Qur'an is all good. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Isra 17:82] . And strive to control your anger. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the one who becomes angry to extinguish the ember of his anger with ablution, sitting down if he is standing, lying on his side if he is sitting, and seeking refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed. We also advise you to recite the Verse of the Throne when going to sleep, and to recite: (Say: He is Allah, the One) and the two chapters of seeking refuge three times when going to sleep, and in the morning and evening. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

Some of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that one of them finds in himself—hinting at something—that it would be better for him to be molten copper than to speak it. He said: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, praise be to Allah who turned back his scheme to mere whispers.
شكا بعض الصحابة رضي الله عنهم إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن أحدهم يجد في نفسه- يعرّض بالشيء- لأن يكون حُمَمَة أحبُّ إليه من أن يتكلم، فقال: الله أكبر، الله أكبر، الحمد لله الذي رد كيده إلى الوسوسةIndeed, the angel assigned to the heart of the son of Adam has a touch, and Satan has a touch. The touch of the angel is an invitation to good, belief in the truth, and hope for good reward. The touch of Satan is an invitation to evil, disbelief in the truth, and despair of good. So when you find the touch of the angel, praise Allah and ask Him of His bounty. And when you find the touch of Satan, seek refuge in Allah and ask His forgiveness.
إن للملك الموكل بقلب ابن آدم لمة وللشيطان لمة، فلمة الملك إيعاد بالخير وتصديق بالحق ورجاء صالح ثوابه، ولمة الشيطان إيعاد بالشر وتكذيب بالحق وقنوط من الخير، فماذا وجدتم لمة الملك فاحمدوا الله وسلوه من فضله، وإذا وجدتم لمة الشيطان فاستعيذوا بالله واستغفروهThe Book, and Say: He is Allah, the One, and the two chapters of seeking refuge, which are: (Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn) and (Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind), and with the Verse of the Throne. The Qur'an is all good. Allah the Exalted said:
And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.
وَنُنَـزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلاَ يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلا خَسَارًا
