وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ يَضَعُ عَرْشَهُ عَلَى المَاء ثمَّ يبْعَث سراياه فَأَدْنَاهُمْ مِنْهُ مَنْزِلَةً أَعْظَمُهُمْ فِتْنَةً يَجِيءُ أَحَدُهُمْ فَيَقُولُ فَعَلَتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَيَقُولُ مَا صَنَعْتَ شَيْئًا قَالَ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ أَحَدُهُمْ فَيَقُولُ مَا تَرَكَتُهُ حَتَّى فَرَّقَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ امْرَأَتِهِ قَالَ فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهُ وَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ أَنْتَ قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ أرَاهُ قَالَ «فيلتزمه» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Jabir reported God’s messenger as saying, "Iblis sets his throne on the water, then sends forth his detachments to tempt mankind, the one who is nearest him in station being the one who can cause the severest temptation. One of them comes and says, ‘I have done such and such,’ but he replies, ‘You have done nothing.’ Then one of them comes and says; ‘I did not leave him till I separated him from his wife.’ He then brings him near to himself saying, ‘What a fine fellow you are!' ” A'mash said he thought he said, "Then he embraces him.” Muslim transmitted it.

➌ The devil is greatly pleased when there is separation between two Muslims.
➍ Many subordinates of the chief devil (from among the jinn and humans) are continuously acting upon satanic commands on this earth, day and night.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
Ahl:
To call out loudly upon sighting the moon is called "ihlal" (اهلال).
Similarly, a child's crying is also referred to as "ihlal," and it is also used for designating something for other than Allah.
"Ahl li ghayrillah" means to designate it for other than Allah, and "ahl bil-hajj" means
to recite the talbiyah for Hajj.
Since the talbiyah is recited at the time of donning the ihram,
therefore, donning the ihram is also expressed with the term "ihlal."
Benefits and Issues:
Regarding the recitation of the talbiyah, it is narrated from Abdullah ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recited the talbiyah immediately after performing two units of prayer in the mosque of Dhul-Hulayfah.
However, only those few people who were close to him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam at that time became aware of this. After that, when he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mounted his she-camel near the mosque of Dhul-Hulayfah and the she-camel stood upright with him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he recited the talbiyah again.
Those who had not heard his sallallahu alayhi wa sallam first talbiyah thought
that he had recited the talbiyah for the first time after mounting the she-camel.
Then, when the she-camel started moving and reached the place of Bayda, he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recited the talbiyah for the third time.
Those who had not heard the first and second talbiyah from him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam thought that he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had begun the talbiyah upon reaching the place of Bayda. The actual reality is that after donning the ihram, the talbiyah should be recited at every new turn and new stage, and along with it, the prescribed supplications (ad‘iyah) and the takbirat and tahmidat should also be recited in the mornings, evenings, and at other occasions.
Men should recite the talbiyah in a loud voice, and women should recite it softly.
The talbiyah should be recited in every condition,
whether the one reciting the talbiyah is in a state of purity or impurity.
