Seeking Refuge from Satan When Experiencing Whispers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Which is better, Honorable Shaykh, cursing Satan or seeking refuge from him? And when Satan whispers to a person in his acts of worship
Answer:
Yes, seeking refuge from Satan when whispers arise is commanded. It drives Satan away from you so that he does not whisper to you,[Fussilat 41:36]. So when one feels a whisper or feels that a thought from Satan's thoughts has occurred, he seeks refuge in Allah, and Allah the Exalted repels it from him through seeking refuge.

And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
