Silsilah as-Sahihah 3848 — Satan challenged to mislead, Allah claimed

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Indeed, Satan said: ‘O my Lord! By Your honor, as long as the souls of Your servants remain in their bodies, I will continue to mislead them.’ And the Lord, Blessed and Exalted, said in response: ‘By My honor and My majesty! As long as they seek forgiveness from Me, I will continue to forgive them.’”
