Hadith 7
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a line in front of us, and on its right and left he drew some other lines as well. He (peace be upon him) said: These are different paths, and on each of these paths there is a devil sitting, calling towards that path. Then he (peace be upon him) recited this verse: “Indeed, this is My path, which is straight. So follow it, and do not follow other paths, for they will separate you from His path.” This is the complete verse.
