It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Iblis's throne is upon the sea. Then he sends out his troops (small detachments), who put people to trial; and the greatest of them in his sight is the one who is greatest in causing trial."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "These two hadiths were narrated from Qatadah, from Sulayman, only by Sa'id, and from Sa'id only by Mus'ab; Abu Kurayb is alone in narrating both of them."
