Sun 22 Dhul Qidah 1444AH 11-6-2023AD at 5:25 pm #90213
‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu) said,
“While on the Ark, Nooh (‘alayhis-salam) noticed an old man whom he did not recognise.
Nooh (‘Alayhis-salām) inquired, ‘What brought you here?’
He replied, ‘I came to strike the hearts of your followers, so their hearts become with me, while their bodies with you.’
Nooh (‘Alayhis-salām) responded, ‘Leave, O enemy of Allah.’
Iblis said, ‘There are five things that cause people to become destroyed (deviated). I will inform you of three and not of the other two’.
{Then it was revealed to Nooh (‘Alayhis-salām) that he needed not know the three, but that he should enquire about the two. (so he inquired about just two)}
Iblis said, ‘The two that are certain to work are:
Envy: I was cursed because of my envy, and became a stoned devil and the second is
Greediness (to have more): The entire Paradise was made permissible to Adam (‘alayhis-salam). I got what I wanted from him because of his greediness.’”
[Ibn abee al-Dunya (Rahimahullah) in Maka’d al-Shaytaan, 65/ 44]
