It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Iblis places his throne upon the water, then he sends out his army. The one among them who creates the greatest tribulation is the closest to him. One of them comes and says, 'I did such and such,' and Iblis says, 'You have done nothing.' Then another comes and says, 'I did not leave so-and-so until I caused separation between him and his wife.' Iblis brings him near and says, 'You have accomplished the greatest achievement.'"
