حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ إِسْحَقُ أَخْبَرَنَا و قَالَ عُثْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ عَرْشَ إِبْلِيسَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ فَيَبْعَثُ سَرَايَاهُ فَيَفْتِنُونَ النَّاسَ فَأَعْظَمُهُمْ عِنْدَهُ أَعْظَمُهُمْ فِتْنَةً(مسلم شریف:۲۸۱۳)
Translation
Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "The throne of Iblees is upon the sea. So he sends his armies so that they may cast people into Fitnah (trial and misguidance). Thus, the one with the greatest status near him among those of the army is the one who casts the most Fitnah among them." (Tafheem-ul-Muslim)
