حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ،، ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ يَضَعُ عَرْشَهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ، ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ سَرَايَاهُ، فَأَدْنَاهُمْ مِنْهُ مَنْزِلَةً أَعْظَمُهُمْ فِتْنَةً، يَجِيءُ أَحَدُهُمْ، فَيَقُولُ: فَعَلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَيَقُولُ: مَا صَنَعْتَ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: وَيَجِيءُ أَحَدُهُمْ، فَيَقُولُ: مَا تَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى فَرَّقْتُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَهْلِهِ، قَالَ: فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهُ - أَوْ قَالَ: فَيَلْتَزِمُهُ - وَيَقُولُ: نِعْمَ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ " (١) ، قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ مَرَّةً: فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهُ (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Iblis places his throne upon the water, then he sends out his army. The one among them who creates the greatest tribulation is the closest to him. One of them comes and says, 'I did such and such,' and Iblis says, 'You have done nothing.' Then another comes and says, 'I did not leave so-and-so until I caused separation between him and his wife.' Iblis brings him near and says, 'You have accomplished the greatest achievement.'"
