Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, Satan has a whisper in the son of Adam, and the angel has a whisper. As for the whisper of Satan, it is one of evil and denial of the truth. As for the whisper of the angel, it is one of good and affirmation of the truth. So whoever finds this should know that it is from Allah, so he should praise Allah. And whoever finds the other, let him seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed."
Then he recited: {Satan threatens you with poverty and commands you to commit immoralities.} (Al-Baqarah 2:268) [Narrated by Tirmidhi, who said: This is a strange hadith]
