It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Iblis places his throne upon the water or the sea, and then he sends out his armies. The one who is closest to him in rank is the one who causes the greatest tribulation. One comes and says: I did such-and-such an action, but Iblis says: You have done nothing. Another comes and says: I did not leave him until I had caused separation between him and his wife. So Iblis brings him near to himself and embraces him and says: How excellent you are (you have indeed done well).
