Surah an-Nas ayah 5

Arabic text

Alladhi yuwaswisu fi sudur an-nas

Who whispers in the breasts of humankind

The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah:

The expression 'Who whispers in the breasts of mankind' may be interpreted in two ways. One interpretation is that Satan whispers in the chests of people belonging to the human race or the race of jinn. The other interpretation is that the devils from among the human race and the jinn whisper in the chests of other people.
