Commentary

[1]

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is protected against the influence of Satan to such an extent that his constant jinn companion (qarīn) became a Muslim, as mentioned in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, where the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Each of you has been bound with a devil.” The companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم asked, “Even you, O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم?” He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Me too, but Allah aided me in overcoming it, and it became a Muslim; and it only enjoins me to do good.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim: 69
(2814)) His seeking protection from Satan was to act upon the Divine Command, and to teach the Ummah.
