Hadith 12

fore help us–la with the renegades’. So he–la does not cease to help them to the extent that he–la helps them with a thousand renegades, and they come to him. But every time, he hits them with the mention of Allah–azwj and Salawaat upon Muhammad–saww and his–saww goodly Progeny–asws – they cannot find a way against him nor an outlet. They say to Iblees–la, ‘There isn’t anyone apart from you–la who can face him with your–la army to overcome him and stray him’. Then Iblees–la aims for him with his–la army. Allah–azwj the Exalted is Saying to the Angels: “This is Iblees–la who has aimed for My–azwj servant so and so, or My–azwj maid so and so, with his–la army. Go and fight them! ” So they fight them in the face of every pelted satan–la from them, one hundred thousand Angels, and they are upon horses of fire – in their hands being swords of fire, and spears of fire, and bows and arrows, and knives, and their weapons of fire. They (Angels) are not ceasing throwing them out and killing them with these and despairing Iblees–la, and they are placing those weapons upon him–la and he–la is saying, ‘O Lord–azwj! Your–azwj Promise, Your–azwj Promise! You–azwj have Respited me–la up to a day of known time’. Allah–azwj the Exalted is Saying to the Angels: “I–azwj had Promised him–la that I–azwj shall not Cause him–la to die, and I–azwj did not Promise him–la that I–azwj will not be letting him–la be overcome by the weapons, and the punishments, and the pains. Keep striking him–la with the strikes of your weapons, for I–azwj will not Cause him–la to die”. They keep inflicting him–la with the wounds, then they leave him–la. He–la does not cease to be wailing upon himself–la – and upon his–la killed children – nor does anything heal from his–la wounds – except by the hearing of the voices of the polytheists with their Kufr. If this Momin remains upon the obedience of Allah–azwj and His–azwj Mention, and the Salawaat upon Muhammad–saww and his–saww Progeny–asws, those wounds remain upon Iblees-la, and if the servant declines from that and engages in opposition to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and disobeying Him–azwj, the wounds of Iblees–la get healed. Then he–la gets strengthened upon that servant until he–la reins him and mounts upon his back and rides him. Then he–la descends from him and there ride upon him a Satan–la from his–la Satans–la, and he–la is saying to his–la companion–la, ‘Do you not remember what hit us–la from the affair of this one, the humiliation and the abasement to us–la? Now, come and ride this one’. Then Rasool-Allah–saww said: ‘If you intend to perpetuate upon Iblees-la the heat of his–la eyes, and the pain of his–la wounds, then be perpetual upon the obedience of Allah-azwj and His–azwj Mention, and the Salawaat upon Him-azwj and his–saww Progeny-asws. And if you were to decline from that, you would be the captives of Iblees-la, and he–la appoints one o
