How to identify the Satanic whispers
Assalam oalaikum,
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (ra) that a man came to the Prophet Mohammad (saw) and said, “I think thoughts to myself, which I would rather be burnt to a cinder than speak of them.” Prophet Mohammad (saw) said, “Praise be to Allaah, Who has reduced all his [the Shaytaan’s] plots to mere whispers.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood).
This hadith shows us that if a person simply loathes the satanic whispers and feels irritated because of them then this is a good sign. This is because by hating those whispers rather then getting enticed by them or succumbing to them that person has protected himself from committing great sins.
Positively speaking, such a man displays signs of true Imaan. Such a person can easily differentiate between his own natural thoughts and the satanic whispers. The latter, after all, always leave a bad taste in the mouth. They are crafted in such a way by shaitan so as to make a person confused or fearful. They tend to weaken our Imaan.
Hence, the satanic whispers can be easily identified by a pious Muslim because in most cases they create tension in the mind of a person.
