Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This brother Abu Ahmad, who resides in Riyadh, says: I read an article, O Shaykh, stating that Satan flows from the son of Adam like blood. The question is: Is this flow physical or spiritual? And how does a person overcome the whispers of Satan? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2] May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, Satan, may Allah curse him, is the enemy of mankind. He has vowed to destroy him as much as he is able to. [Fatir 35:6] Satan is a clear enemy, and Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has warned us against him. As for the statement that he flows through the son of Adam, this is not the speech of people, but rather an authentic hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because Sunan Abi Dawud 4719Sahih (Al-Albani), and this is a tangible flow that accompanies the human being and touches him, confuses him, and harms him. He repels his evil by seeking refuge, as Allah the Exalted said in the other verse: [Al-A'raf 7:200] [Ash-Shu'ara 26:220]. [Al-Mu'minun 23:97-98]. He repels him by seeking refuge in Allah from his evil.
[An-Nahl 16:98]. Seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan before reciting the Qur’an. Seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan when you become angry; he repels the anger from you by seeking refuge from the accursed Satan, because anger is from Satan. Likewise, seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan whenever you intend to do evil, or when a state of evil or revenge against people overtakes you; then you seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. Likewise, when Satan whispers to you and when he distracts you, you seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan so that you may distance yourself from him. Yes.
