Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud:
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Indeed the shaitan has an effect on the son of Adam,
and the angel also has an effect.
As for the shaitan, it is by threatening evil repercussions and rejecting the truth.
As for the effect of the Malaikah, it is by his promise of a good end and believing in the truth.
Whoever finds that, let him know that it is from Allah, and let him praise Allah for it.
Whoever finds the other then let him seek refuge with Allah from the shaitan (the outcast)
then recite: Shaitan threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahisha (2:268).”
As for the effect of the Malaikah, it is by his promise of a good end and believing in the truth.
Whoever finds that, let him know that it is from Allah, and let him praise Allah for it.
Whoever finds the other then let him seek refuge with Allah from the shaitan (the outcast)
then recite: Shaitan threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahisha (2:268).”
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” إِنَّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ لَمَّةً بِابْنِ آدَمَ وَلِلْمَلَكِ لَمَّةً فَأَمَّا لَمَّةُ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِيعَادٌ بِالشَّرِّ وَتَكْذِيبٌ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَمَّا لَمَّةُ الْمَلَكِ فَإِيعَادٌ بِالْخَيْرِ وَتَصْدِيقٌ بِالْحَقِّ فَمَنْ وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ وَمَنْ وَجَدَ الأُخْرَى فَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ثُمَّ قَرَأ : (الشََّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُمْ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ ) ” . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَهُوَ حَدِيثُ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ لاَ نَعْلَمُهُ مَرْفُوعًا إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ .
