The ruling on one whom Satan whispers to during prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This message came from a questioner for the program who wrote this question in his own style and used the letters alif, lam, jim, and ra to represent his name from Riyadh. He says: Honorable Shaykh, I am careful to maintain the prayers, and praise be to Allah, but when I begin the obligatory prayers in the mosque, Satan whispers to me, then he tells me, “Repeat, repeat the prayer.” Then I stand up and say the closing salam to my right while I am standing in the row with the congregation, and I go and perform wudu. This condition continues with me, and this whispering persists in all the prayers. How does Satan enter? And is it permissible to break off the prayer while I am in the row with the congregation? May Allah reward you with good. And what is the ruling on my condition? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
This is whispering from Satan and a scheme from Satan to ruin your religion for you. So do not pay attention to it. Reject it completely and continue in your prayer. Seek refuge in Allah from Satan and complete your prayer. Do not be affected by his saying that you have done something new or that you have invalidated your prayer. Leave all of that and continue in your prayer and seek refuge in Allah from Satan. Yes. May Allah reward you.
