                               Abu'l-Tayyah (رضي الله عنه) said: _*'I asked (Abdul-Rahman lbn Khanbash: 'Did you meet the Prophet (ﷺ) He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'What did He do in the night when the devils plotted against him?' He replied: 'The devils came down from every valley and side road to attack Allaah's Messenger.' One of the devils had a torch in his hand wanting to burn the face of Allaah's Messenger. Jibril came down and said: 'O Mulhammad repeat after me:*_

Ibn 'Abbãs (رضي الله عنه) said in another hadeeth that. Allaah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to seek refuge with Allaah for al-Hasan and al-Husayn (رضي الله عنهم) saying :

_*أعُوذُ بِكَلِمَةَ اللهِ التَّامَّة مِن كُلِّ شَيطَانٍ و هَامَّةٍ وَ مِن كُلِّ عَينٍ لاَمَّةٍ*_
_*(Audhu Bi Kalimati Lahi Tamma Min Kulli Shaytan Wa Hamma Wa Min Kulli 'Aynin Lamma.)*_

▫️ *Devil's Deception of Intellectuals & Safest path*
➖➖➖

Yã Oukhty ! Yã Akhy !
Know that, just as Iblis was able to deceive simpleminded folks into practicing taqlid, he was also able to deceive those with some intelligence. Iblis deceived some people making them believe that it is a sign of weakness to adhere to the apparent meanings of religious verses. So he directed them towards the way of philosophers to the point of taking them out of the fold of Islam.

He [Iblis] whispered to others not to believe in anything that is intangible. Did this group use tangible means to verify their opinion ? If the answer is: 'Yes', they would be arrogant and not willing to accept the truth. And if it's : 'No', then they would go against their principle. Iblis swayed others to reject imitation and to dwell into sciences of kalãm (theological rhetorics and deductive reasoning). They thought that this would remove them from the ranks of laypeople. Most of them ended up in doubt and atheism.

Al-Shafi'i  (رحمه الله) said about this science : _"It would be better for a servant to commit all the sins from which Allaah has forbidden, except Shirk, than for him to dwell into kalãm"_
And Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (رحمه الله) said : _"a person of kalãm will never succeed, scholars of kalãm are of no religion."_

Practitioners of kalãm claimed that faith could never be complete except by understating their system of arguments. They are indeed wrong, because The Messenger (ﷺ) ordered people to have faith, not to research kalãm and the Companions who were the best of people, followed The Messenger's order.

In fact it was narrated that many of the alert practitioners of kalãm abandoned kalãm after realising its bad effects.

Finally, If imitators as well as practitioners of kalãm are in fault in matters of belief. What then is the safest path away from Iblis's deception?. The response is that the safest path is that of Allaah's Messenger (ﷺ), His Companions and their companions (رضي الله عنهم). They affirmed the existence of The Creator, affirmed His Attributes according to the Qur'an and Sunnah without looking too deep into matters that humans have no ability to understand.
