The ruling on the hadith: If he takes a path, Satan takes another path

Question:
Is it true that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab that if he takes a path, Satan takes another path? And is this considered a karamah?

Answer:
Yes, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), by the strength of his faith, does not meet Satan on the same path, because Satan is repelled by the light of faith, so he does not meet the sincere believer, because the light of faith burns him. Rather, Satan approaches the open sinner and the disobedient, and the one who associates partners with Allah, the disbeliever, and the hypocrite; Satan approaches these people. As for the righteous servant who is upright, who believes in Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and His Messenger with true faith, Satan does not approach him. And the foremost among these is 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), to whom the Prophet said: This is praise for 'Umar due to the strength of his faith, and this is not specific to 'Umar, but rather everyone whose faith, certainty, and adherence to the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) are strong, and who is accustomed to the remembrance of Allah, who is accustomed to the remembrance of Allah, Satan is repelled from him, because Satan is a whispering, retreating whisperer; he whispers when a person is heedless of the remembrance of Allah, and he retreats when the Muslim mentions his Lord (Mighty and Majestic). He retreats, meaning he delays and moves away.
