Shaykhul-Islaam
Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:
“Waswaas is something that happens to everyone who turns
to Allaah in Dhikr. It will inevitably happen to him. So he should be steadfast
and remain patient, and persist in his Dhikr and prayer and not give up, for,
by persisting in it he will foil the plot of the Shaytaan and, ‘ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaytaan.’
[Surah an-Nisa 4:76]
“Every
time a person wants to turn his heart to Allaah, whispers of other matters come
to him. The Shaytaan is like a bandit; every time a person wants to travel
towards Allaah, he wants to intercept him.”
“Hence,
it was said to one of the Salaf, ‘The Jews and the Christians say, we don’t experience
waswaas. He replied, ‘They are right! What would Shaytaan do with a
ruined house?’”
