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." A'mash said: He then embraces him.  

مسلم:٢٨١٣bحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ 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

"إِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ يَضَعُ عَرْشَهُ عَلَى المَاءِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ سَرَايَاهُ. فَأَدْنَاهُمْ مِنْهُ مَنْزِلَةً أَعْظَمُهُمْ فِتْنَةً، يَجئُ أحَدُهُمْ فَيَقُولُ: فَعلتُ كذا، وكذا، فيقول: مَا صَنَعْتَ شَيْئًا، وَيَجِئُ أحَدُهُمْ فَيَقُولُ: مَا تَرَكْتُه حَتَّى فَرَّقتُ بيْنَهُ وَبيْنَ أَهْلِهِ؛ فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهُ، وَيَقُولُ: نَعَمْ أَنْتَ "
