Is Iblis the Shaytan? And has the Shaytan ever entered the Sacred House of Allah and stolen?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A question to clarify the action of the Shaytan in the hadith , and is the Shaytan Iblis who did not prostrate to Adam, or is he from his family if that is correct, or his descendants?
The Shaykh : What difference does it make to you whether it is him or his son?
The questioner : But we need clarification based on...
The Shaykh : This is not important; because nothing depends on it.
The questioner : Does the Shaytan do this, taking from the wealth of Muslims in this manner, or is he a doer of...
The Shaykh : This is an irrelevant question; because what does the hadith indicate?
The questioner : The hadith indicates that he entered the house of the wealth of Muslims and took from it, and when he came, he said to him, "I am poor and needy."
The Shaykh : But that is it, what does the hadith indicate regarding your question?
The questioner : Meaning, the hadith indicates he entered and was present in the room and was sitting carrying [the goods].
The Shaykh : Okay, what is your question?
The questioner : That is it, does it happen?
The Shaykh : It happened.
The questioner : Meaning, does it happen afterwards?
The Shaykh : It happened, and if it were not for the fact that this man was a believer, Abu Hurayrah, and he attacked him and benefited from that benefit, the Shaytan would have taken the goods and left. Why would it not happen? But you, perhaps like we mentioned about some of the brothers, are affected by some rumors or satanic whispers. The Shaytan does this, but Allah does not empower the Shaytan over the wealth of all people constantly and ever, but rather when He wants to manifest a wisdom, this occurs. What is the obstacle?
The questioner : Do not take me, Professor, in this matter.
The Shaykh : I took you beforehand.
The questioner : One of our relatives had his money stolen, so the people, as you know, are simple, and they started saying, "Go to..."The Shaykh : ...so that he knows where the money is. And the mother told them, "I will let the Shaytan go and bring the money."
The Shaykh : It has no relation to the hadith of the Shaytan, in which the Messenger of Allah said: And this is an impermissible and unlawful expansion to seek the help of those who cooperate with the jinn. This is without a doubt, meaning it is not the way of the believers. Okay, as for the rest.
He has told you the truth, and he is a liar
