Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are all the Shayatins (devils) chained, or only the rebellious ones among them?
Answer:
The hadith mentions that the rebellious Shayatins (devils) are chained, and all Shayatins (devils) are rebellious. The phrase "rebellious Shayatins (devils)" is not for restriction, but to clarify the description. So every Shaytan (devil) is a rebel, as Allah the Exalted said:[As-Saffat 37:7] Thus, all Shayatins (devils) are rebels. Yes. It is not, it is not, there are no good Shayatins (devils); they are all rebels. Yes.
