Verily, Satan has said, ‘By Your Honor and Grandeur, O Allah, my temptations will not depart from your servants as long as their souls are in their bodies.’
And the Lord said, ‘By My Honor and My Grandeur, never will I cease forgiving those who ask My forgiveness.’
– A hadith of the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh)

As salaamu alaikum Irving,
Jazak Allah Khayr. This is a profound hadith, ma sha Allah. In these sorry days and times, it’s not always easy to remember Allah’s forgiveness
Ma’as salama,
Abdur Rahman
Amin Maliha. And Abdur, indeed in these times, forgiveness is very difficult. Yet Allah is the Most Forgiving. Lucky for all of us. Alhamdulillah!
Ya Haqq!
what does it mean by…. “souls in their bodies?”
It means that Satan will not stop tempting humans as long as they are alive, i.e., their souls are in their bodies.
Ya Haqq!
