far thing. Hence, the Shaytan has a different nature than mankind, and
his sinful ways are far away from every type of righteousness. It was
also said that Shaytan is derived from Shata, (literally `burned'),
because it was created from fire. Some scholars said that both
meanings are correct, although they state that the first meaning is
more plausible. Further, Siybawayh (the renowned Arab linguistic)
said, "The Arabs say, `So-and-so has Tashaytan,' when he commits the
act of the devils. If Shaytan was derived from Shata, they would have
said, Tashayyata (rather than Tashaytan).'' Hence, Shaytan is derived
from the word that means, far away. This is why they call those who
are rebellious (or mischievous) from among the Jinns and mankind a
`Shaytan'. Allah said,
﴿وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نِبِىٍّ عَدُوّاً شَيَـطِينَ الإِنْسِ
وَالْجِنِّ يُوحِى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ الْقَوْلِ غُرُوراً﴾
(And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies ـ Shayatin
(devils) among mankind and Jinn, inspiring one another with adorned
speech as adelusion (or by way of deception)) (6:112).
In addition, the Musnad by Imam Ahmad records that Abu Dharr said that
the Messenger of Allah(peace be upon him)said,
«يَا أَبَا ذَرَ تَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَيَاطِينِ الْإِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ»
(O Abu Dharr! Seek refuge with Allah from the devils of mankind and
the Jinns.) Abu Dharr said, "I asked him , `Are there human devils' He
said, (Yes.)'' Furthermore,it is recorded in Sahih Muslim that Abu
Dharr said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,
«يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ»
(The woman, the donkey and the black dog interrupt the prayer (if they
pass in front of those who do not pray behind a Sutrah, i.e. a
barrier).) Abu Dharr said,"I said, `What is the difference between the
black dog and the red or yellow dog' He said,
«الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ»
(The black dog is a devil.).''
Also, Ibn Jarir At-Tabari recorded that `Umar bin Al-Khattab RA once
rode aBerthawn (huge camel) which started to proceed arrogantly. `Umar
RA keptstriking the animal, but the animal kept walking in an arrogant
manner. `Umar RA dismounted theanimal and said, "By Allah! You have
carried me on a Shaytan. I did not come down from it until after I had
felt something strange in my heart.'' This Hadith has anauthentic
chain of narrators.
