Question:
This is another questioner who says: How do we reconcile the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He,[Al-Hujurat 49:12], and the saying of the Messenger, and Sahih al-Bukhari 5269? Does it include the whispers of the self?
Answer:
No, the whispers of the self are illusions. Suspicion is only when you suspect your brother of something bad. Do not suspect your brother of anything bad; the default for a Muslim is integrity and trustworthiness, so do not suspect him of anything bad. As for when you have concerns or feelings about something, do not pay attention to them; seek refuge in Allah from Satan and leave it. Yes.
