It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah bin Abi Fakih (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Satan sits on the paths of the son of Adam. So he sits on the path of Islam and says to him: Will you become a Muslim and leave your own religion and the religion of your forefathers? But he disobeys him and accepts Islam. Then he sits on the path of migration and says to him: Will you migrate and leave your sky and earth, meaning your homeland? And the example of the emigrant is like that of a horse tied with a rope. But he disobeys him and migrates. Then he sits for him on the path of jihad and says to him: In this path, there is hardship for the soul and wealth is spent. Will you now fight? You will be killed, your wife will be married by someone else, and your wealth will be distributed. But he rejects his opinion and performs jihad. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If he sets out for this action and then dies, it is a right upon Allah that He will admit him to Paradise. Or if he is martyred, then it is also a right upon Allah that He will admit him to Paradise. Or if he drowns in water, then Allah has the right to admit him to Paradise. Or if an animal breaks his neck, then still it is a right upon Allah that He will admit him to Paradise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Satan has despaired of being worshipped in your (the land of the Arabian Peninsula), but he will be satisfied with making you commit such (sins) which you consider insignificant.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, Satan has despaired of being worshipped by the worshippers (i.e., Muslims) in the Arabian Peninsula, but he will continue to incite them towards discord, quarrels, and fighting.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When the sun sets, do not send your livestock and children outside until the initial darkness of the night passes, because after sunset the devils are sent out, until the initial darkness of the night passes.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left her place one night. I felt great jealousy (because it was my turn, but you, peace and blessings be upon him, went to one of your wives). Meanwhile, you, peace and blessings be upon him, returned and saw what I had done. You, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Aisha! What has happened to you? Have you become jealous?" I said: "Why should a woman like me not be jealous of a personality like you?" You, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Has your devil become dominant over you?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Is there a devil with me too?" You, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Yes." I said: "Is there a devil with every human being?" You, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Yes." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Is there one with you too?" You, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Yes, absolutely, but Allah Almighty has helped me, so much so that he has become obedient."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: With every one of you, a companion from among the devils has been appointed. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! Is there one with you as well? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, but Allah Almighty has helped me against him and he has become obedient.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said, then a similar narration was mentioned, except that in it is: And but Allah Almighty helped me, so he only commands me with the truth.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not go to those women whose husbands are not present, because Satan circulates among you like blood. We said: O Messenger of Allah! Is this Satan also with you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is also with me, but Allah Almighty has helped me against him, so he has become obedient.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Satan passed by me, I caught him and strangled him, until I felt the coolness of his tongue on my hand. He said to me: "You have caused me pain, you have caused me pain."

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), while narrating the hadith of Isra, says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When I descended towards the sky of the world, I saw that below me there was dust, smoke, and noises. I said: O Jibreel! What is this? He said: These are devils, who are hovering in front of the eyes of the children of Adam, so that they may not reflect upon the kingdoms of the heavens and the earth. If they were not there, they would see wondrous things.
