Transliteration:( Wa immaa yanzaghannaka minash Shaitaani nazghun fasta'iz billaah; innahoo Samee'un Aleem )
And if a whisper from the devil should cause you distress, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing [455].
This verse advises that when Satan incites anger or provokes conflict, one should immediately say: "I seek protection in Allah Almighty". This practice is a powerful remedy against anger and impulsive reaction, helping a person regain control through spiritual awareness.
Although the instruction is general, it is particularly aimed at common believers, as Allah has protected the Holy Prophet ﷺ from the influence of Satan. In fact, according to Hadith, the devil linked to the Prophet ﷺ became a believer, affirming that the Prophet ﷺ is free from Shayṭān’s evil effects. This verse teaches the believers a practical way to repel satanic suggestions and maintain inner peace.
