Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the difference between the command of Satan and the command of the nafs al-ammara bi al-su (the self that commands evil)? How do we distinguish that this is from the nafs al-ammara bi al-su and that is from Satan?

The Shaykh : In fact, the nafs al-ammara bi al-su (the self that commands evil) obeys the command of Satan; it obeys the command of Satan, because it commands what Satan commands.
