Musnad of Anas bin Malik
Musnad Abi Ya'la 4301 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Indeed Satan
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَحْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَارَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادٌ النُّمَيْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ وَاضِعٌ خَطْمَهُ عَلَى قَلْبِ ابْنِ آدَمَ ، فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ اللهَ خَنَسَ ، وَإِنْ نَسِيَ الْتَقَمَ قَلْبَهُ فَذَلِكَ الْوَسْوَاسُ الْخَنَّاسُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed Satan keeps his snout placed upon the heart of the son of Adam. If he remembers Allah, he draws back; and if he becomes heedless (of the remembrance of Allah), he swallows his heart. That is 'al-waswas al-khannas' (the whisperer who withdraws)."
