Where Shaytaan enters your body?

Monday, October 31, 2011



Abu Hurayrah (Radia Allahu anhu) narrated that Allah's Messenger (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
"When anyone of you wakes up , me must rise his nose three times. Verily Shaytaan spends the night inside a person's nostrils." (Bukhari 3121, Muslim 23)
 This hadeeth shows that Shaytaan can't open what is closer or locked. Furthermore it has been reported that when a person yawns he should cover his mouth, so Shaytaan can enter. (Subulus Salaam).

Shaykh Uthaymeen ( Rahimahu Allah) commented on this hadeeth in his explanation for Sahih Muslim. He said: "This hadeeth proves that Shaytaan has the ability to do things and we don’t have the ability to perceive it.Shaytaan spends the night in our nose and we don’t know how. We can’t make out how anyone could shape their body for the size of a nostril. However if it was something that crawled the size of an atom we could see how."

 Muhammad Abdur Rauf Al-Manaawee said: "Shaytaan also chooses the nose because the eyes are for looking and pondering over the creations in the heavens and earth. The mouth is for remembering Allah. The ears are for listening to knowledge and Allah's remembrances. However the nose doesn't have any of these traits.Therefore this is an entrance for Shaytaan into man's body to whisper to him. ( Faydul Qadeer #436)
