Hadith 74

وَعَن بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ لِلشَّيْطَانَ لَمَّةً بِابْنِ -[28]- آدَمَ وَلِلْمَلَكِ لَمَّةً فَأَمَّا لَمَّةُ الشَّيْطَانَ فَإِيعَادٌ بِالشَّرِّ وَتَكْذِيبٌ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَمَّا لَمَّةُ الْمَلَكِ فَإِيعَادٌ بِالْخَيْرِ وَتَصْدِيقٌ بِالْحَقِّ فَمَنْ وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ من الله فليحمد اللَّهَ وَمَنْ وَجَدَ الْأُخْرَى فَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ (الشَّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ ويأمركم بالفحشاء) ‏‏‏‏الْآيَة) ‏‏‏‏أخرجه التِّرْمِذِيّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيث حسن غَرِيب ‏‏‏‏ 
Ibn Mas'ud reported God’s messenger as saying, "The devil draws near to man, and so does the angel. The devil’s approach consists of promise of what is evil, and denial of what is true, whereas the angel’s approach consists of promise of what is good and confirmation of what is true. When anyone experiences the latter, let him know that it comes from God and let him praise God; but if he experiences the other, let him seek refuge in God from the accursed devil.” Then he recited, "The devil promises you poverty and urges you to iniquity.” Tirmidhi transmitted it, and said this is a gharib tradition.

Besides al-Tirmidhi [2988], it has also been narrated by al-Nasa'i [الكبريٰ : 11051] and Ibn Hibban [الاحسان : 993 دوسرا نسخه : 997].
The principal narrator of this report, Ata ibn al-Sa'ib, suffered from confusion (ikhtilat) due to memory impairment in the later part of his life. See: [نهاية الاغتباط بمن رمي من الرواة بالاختلاط 71] and al-Kawakib al-Nayyirat [ص319]
◈ Abu Hatim al-Razi said:
«اختلط بأخرة»
“He (Ata ibn al-Sa'ib) suffered from confusion (ikhtilat) at the end of his life.” [علل الحديث 2؍242 ح2220]

The following narrators heard from Ata ibn al-Sa'ib before his confusion (ikhtilat):
① Shu'bah
