وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الشَّيْطَانُ جَاثِمٌ عَلَى قَلْبِ ابْنِ آدَمَ فَإِذَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ خَنَسَ وَإِذا غفَلَ وسوس» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ تَعْلِيقا

Ibn ‘Abbas reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: ‘Satan crouches over the heart of the son of Adam. When he remembers God, Satan withdraws; when he is heedless, Satan whispers.’ Al-Bukhari transmitted it in suspended form. The Arabic source marks it as not studied by al-Albani.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The source explicitly labels the transmission as mu‘allaq (suspended).
