Whenever you intend to give Sadaqah to anyone, act upon it immediately because whenever a person makes such good intention, I and my fellows whisper to him, obstructing him from [performing] this good deed.

The cursed Satan then went away, saying: ‘Alas, Musa (عَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام) has been aware of all of my three attacks through which I mislead and deceive people. Now Musa (عَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام) will inform people about them.’
