Abdullaah
Ibn Umar said:
While
on the ark, Prophet Nuh (عليه
السلام) noticed an old
man whom he did not recognize. Nuh inquired: What brought you here?
He
replied: I came to strike the hearts of
your followers, so their hearts become with me, while their bodies with you.
Nuh
عليه السلام responded: Leave O enemy of Allaah!!
Iblees
said:
There are five things that
cause people to become destroyed (deviated). I will inform you of three and not
of the other two.
It
was revealed to Nuh (عليه
السلام) that he needed
not know the three, but he should inquire about the two.
Iblees
said: The two that are certain to work are:
Envy: I was cursed because of my envy,
and became a stoned devil.
And
the second is eagerness (to have more):
The entire paradise was made permissible to Adam (عليه السلام). I got what I wanted from him because of his eagerness.
