حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ) قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ يَضَعُ عَرْشَهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ سَرَايَاهُ فَأَدْنَاهُمْ مِنْهُ مَنْزِلَةً أَعْظَمُهُمْ فِتْنَةً يَجِيءُ أَحَدُهُمْ فَيَقُولُ فَعَلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَيَقُولُ: مَا صَنَعْتَ شَيْئًا قَالَ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ أَحَدُهُمْ فَيَقُولُ: مَا تَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى فَرَّقْتُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ امْرَأَتِهِ (قَالَ) فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهُ وَيَقُولُ: نِعْمَ أَنْتَ». قَالَ الأَعْمَشُ أُرَاهُ قَالَ: «فَيَلْتَزِمُهُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Iblis places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments (for creating dissension); the nearer to him in rank are those who are most notorious in creating dissension.

One of them comes and says: “I did so and so.” And he says: “You have done nothing.” Then one amongst them comes and says: “I did not spare so and so until I sowed the seed of discord between a husband and a wife.” The Satan goes near him and says: “You have done well.” Amash said: He then embraces him.

عبید اللہ ( بن عمربن حفص العدوی المدنی ) نے کہا مجھے نا فع نے ابن عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے خبر دی کہا : میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے منہ سے سنتے ہی تلبیہ یا د کر لیا پھر سالم نافع اور حمزہ کی حدیث کی طرح روایت بیا ن کی ۔

{…} Bize Muhammed b. El-Müsennâ rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Yahya yani İbni Saîd, Ubeydullah'dan rivayet etti. (Demişki): Bana Nafi', İbni Ömer (Radiyallahu anhüma) 'dan naklen haber verdi. İbni Ömer: «Ben, telbiyeyi Resulullah (Sallallahû Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in (mübarek) ağzından kaptım.» demiş ve râvi hadîsi yukarkilerin hadîsi gibi rivayet etmişdir

What it means

Satan places his throne over the water, then dispatches his soldiers from the Jinn to tempt people and mislead them. The closest one to Satan is the one who causes the most mischievous deviation among people. One of those devils will come and say to Satan: I did this and that (i.e. I enticed someone to steal, drink wine, for example).

Satan tells him: You did nothing worth the attention. The line continues until one comes up and says: I did not leave so-and-so until I caused dissension between him and his wife to the extent that he divorced her. Satan shall bring him closer, hug him, and say: It is you (i.e. you are the one who fulfilled my wish of misleading and corrupting people).
