Pearl of Wisdom
'Iblis [Satan] said, 'There are five types of people against whom I have no stratagem, whilst I have the rest of people firmly in my grasp: he who clings fast to Allah with a true intention and relies solely on Him in all his affairs, he who is in constant and abundant glorification of Allah day and night, he who pleases for his brother in faith whatever he pleases for himself, he who does not feel anxious about an affliction when it befalls him, and he who is satisfied with whatever Allah has allotted to him and does not worry about his sustenance.?
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as] al-Khisal, p. 285, no. 37

Sorcery and Temptation |
|
From the Quran, we learn that sorcery is a temptation. It is in the same verse that these two words are used for the first time. (The Cow, 102) In this verse, the relationship between these words is clear. These words and their derivatives are used 60 times each. The verse in which they are used for the first time as follows: 102- …Solomon, however was not a disbeliever, while the devils were disbelievers. Thus, they taught the people sorcery that was sent down through the two angels of Babel, Harut and Marut, who however never taught it without saying: ”We are only a temptation. Be not then a disbeliever”… 2. The Cow, 102 The word | Number of occurrence | Sorcery | 60 | Temptation | 60 |
