If
a person is strong in his faith and observes the limits of Allah, he can defeat
Shaytan. Allah’s Messenger said, “The believer can seize the forelock of his
Shaytan as one of you seizes the forelock of his camel whilst traveling.”
[Musnad Ahmad] Imam Ibn Katheer explained, “What is meant by seizing his forelock
is defeating him and overwhelming him, as one does with a camel when it runs
away, then you seize it and overpower it.” [al- Bidayah wan-Nihayah (1/73)] Moreover,
Shaytan is afraid of and flees from the strong believers. For example, the
Prophet said about Umar Ibn Khattab , “the Shaytan is certainly afraid of you,
O Umar.” He also said, “I can see the Shayateen among the jinn and mankind
running away from Umar.” Allah’s Messenger also said to Umar once, “By the One
in Whose Hand is my soul, no Shaytan sees you walking along a path but he takes
a different path.”
