Surah an-Nas ayah 4
Min sharr al-waswas al-khannas
From the evil of the slinking whisperer
The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah:
Satan entices people to commit sins as he makes evil attractive to men. Only Allah can grant protection from the evil of Satan. According to a Hadith, the Prophet said, "With everyone of you there is a devil." The Companions asked, "Is there a devil even with you?" The Prophet said, "Yes, but Allah has granted me protection against him." Hafiz Abu Ya'la Musili quoted a Hadith which reported the Prophet (SAAS) as saying: "Satan puts his hand on the heart of man. If he celebrates the remembrance of Allah he removes his hand and if he forgets Allah, Satan overcomes his heart fully. This is 'evil of the whisperer'.
