The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Satan comes to anyone of you and says, ‘Who has created so-and-so thing and so-and-so thing?’ Satan even says, ‘Who has created your Lord?’ When he disturbs you to this extent, recite ﴿اَعُوۡذُ بِاللّٰهِ﴾ and refrain from it.
(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 399, Hadees 3276)
Commenting on the foregoing Hadees, a renowned commentator, a great thinker of Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الْـمَنَّان has stated: Do not even try to think about the answer to this satanic whisper. Otherwise, Satan will ask another question. Drive him away by reciting ﴿اَعُوۡذُ بِاللّٰهِ﴾.
Not every question is answered. When Satan did not prostrate himself in front of Sayyiduna Aadam عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام and gave reasons for it, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ did not reply to them. Instead, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said ﴿فَاخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا﴾ (i.e. you get out of Heaven).[1] Keep it in mind that reciting ﴿اَعُوۡذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيۡطٰنِ الرَّجِيۡمِ﴾ is a very powerful and effective invocation to drive away Satan.
