Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam `ala Rasulillah .
'As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.'
~ALLAH the Exalted says ~ 'For over My servants no authority shalt thou have,
except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee.
'{Source~ 'Qur`an' ~Surat Al-Ĥijr (The Rocky Tract) 15~ A # 42-43.}
'Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an enemy, he only invites his party to be among the companions of the Blaze'. {Source~ 'Qur`an' ~Surat Fatir 35: A # 6.}
'Verily the believer exhausts his devil just like one of you exhausts his camel during travel.'
meaning the believer wears out his devil , so he debilitates him and makes him lose weight from his grief and sadness ..
Because he is not able to tempt him...{!}Just like the person wears out his riding camel during travel and makes it lose weight due to the length of the travel and its hardships . and this is the condition of the believer with his devil in the constant struggle with him...{!}
he resists his plots and plans and whispers by always being firm upon the obedience of ALLAH the Exalted and Mighty...{!}
Ibn Abi Dunya{Allah be pleased with him} narrates in his book “The plots of the devil”
Verily a devil meets another devil so he says to him ...'why is it that I see you looking so sickly' ? (Meaning the change is weight)”
The other devil replies..' Verily I am with a man that...if he eats he remembers the name of ALLAH ! so I can not eat with him...!
and if he drinks he remembers the name of ALLAH so I can not drink with him ....!
and if he enters into his home he remembers the name of ALLAH so I am rejected outside of the house'...{!}
The other devil says, but as for me then I am with a man if he eats he does not remember ALLAH so he and I eat together, and if he drinks he does not remember ALLAH
so I drink with him, and when he enters his home he does not remember ALLAH so I enter with him...{!}
--------------------------------------------------
a Little Note...
Exhaust: weaken; meaning they exhaust him making him lose weight.
Thus making him a 'Nidwan'...the 'Nidwu' is an animal that has become lean (skinny) through traveling thus its meat has left its body !}
{Aameen Thumma Aameen}
~My 'Salaams' to all~ ~ Y a s m i n ~
~*Never Despair Of The Mercy Of Allah*~
~Say, 'Indeed, my Prayer, my Rites of Sacrifice, my Living and my Dying are for ALLAH, Lord of the Worlds'~
{'Qur`an'~Surat Al-'An`am -# 6-162.}
{'In Shaa Allah'~'Aameen'}
