اِعْلَمْ يَا أَخِي أَنَّ العَبْدَ إِذا اعْتَصَمَ بِحَبْلِ السُّلْطَانِ المَخْلُوقِ سَلِمَ مِن شَرِّ الظَّالِمِينَ
Know, my brother, that if a servant clings to the rope of the created ruler, he is safe from the evil of the oppressors.
فَأَحْرَى أَنْ يَسْلَمَ المُسْتَعِيذُ بِرَبِّ العَالَمِينَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ العَدُوِّ اللَّعِينِ
Then it is more likely that the one who seeks refuge with the Lord of the worlds will be safe from the accursed enemy, Satan.
رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
It was narrated from the Prophet that he said:
مَنْ اسْتَعَاذَ بِاللَّهِ فِي اليَوْمِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
Whoever seeks refuge with Allah ten times a day from the accursed Satan,
وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَلَكًا يَذُودُ عَنْهُ شَرَّ الشَّيْطَانِ
Allah appoints an angel for him to ward off the evil of Satan.
كَمَا تُذَادُ الغَرِيبَةُ مِنَ الإِبِلِ عَنِ الحَوْضِ
Just as the stray camel is driven away from the water trough.
فَكَيْفَ لَا يَسْلَمُ المُسْتَعِيذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَالمَلَكُ يَذُودُ عَنْهُ بِأَمْرِ المَلِكِ الدَّيَّانِ
So how can the one who seeks refuge with Allah not be safe from Satan, while the angel wards him off by the command of the Sovereign, the Just?
