Chapter: Clarifying the Waswasah (Whispers, Bad Thoughts) with regard to faith, and what the one who experiences that should say

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that some people from amongst the Companions of the Apostle (ﷺ) came to him and said:
Verily we perceive in our minds that which every one of us considers it too grave to express. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Do you really perceive it? They said: Yes. Upon this he remarked: That is the faith manifest.
Explanation
-Muslim put the Hadeeth of the companions worried before general Waswasah as fearing for ones Eman is perfection of Eman
-Shaytan whispers and creates doubts in those who are weak
-As for the Kaafir, he sways them as he pleases
-Shubuhaat is of two types: that which is personal - this one a person must refute within himself. The other one is where Shaytaan tries to create doubts in matters of the religion in this they must refute such doubts with evidences and ration.

Sharh Sahih Muslim, 2/171-176
