Jabir reported: I heard Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Verily, the Satan has lost all hopes that the worshippers would ever worship (him) in the peninsula of Arabia, but he (is hopeful) that he would sow the seed of dissension amongst them.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters.

Jabir reported: I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: The throne of Iblis is upon the ocean and he sends detachments (to different parts) in order to put people to trial and the most important figure in his eyes is one who is most notorious in sowing the seed of dissension.

Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Iblis places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments (for creating dissension) ; the nearer to him in rank are those who are most notorious in creating dissension. One of them comes and says: I did so and so. And he says: You have done nothing. Then one amongst them comes and says: I did not spare so and so until I sowed the seed of discord between a husband and a wife. The Satan goes near him and says: 'You have done well. A'mash said: He then embraces him.

Jabir reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace be upqn him) said: The Satan sends detachments of his own in order to put people to trial and the highest in rank, in his eyes, is one who is most notorious in sowing the seed of dissension.

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: There is none amongst you with whom is not an attached from amongst the jinn (devil). They (the Companions) said: Allah's Messenger, with you too? Thereupon he said: Yes, but Allah helps me against him and so I am safe from his hand and he does not command me but for good.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Mansiir with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.

A'isha the wife of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , reported that one day Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came out of her (apartment) during the night and she felt jealous. Then he came and he saw me (in what agitated state of mind) I was. He said: A'isha, what has happened to you? Do you feel jealous? Thereupon she said: How can it be (that a woman like me) should not feel jealous in regard to a husband like you. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: It was your devil who had come to you, and she said: Allah's Messenger, is there along with me a devil? He said: Yes. I said: Is devil attached to everyone? He said: Yes. I (Aisha) again said: Allah's Messenger, is it with you also? He said: Yes, but my Lord has helped me against him and as such I am absolutely safe from his mischief.
