Continuation:
Hearing this, Shaitan said: “I did not prostrate before Adam when he was alive, how can I prostrate upon his grave now that he is dead? I shall never do such a thing!” Then continuing, he said: “O’ Musa! Since you interceded for me before Allah you have obliged me. I shall advise you to be wary of me in three places in order that you do not face damnation and ruin.
First: During anger; for in that state my soul is in your heart and my eyes into yours and I flow in you like your blood flows.
Second: During a battle (jihad); for in that state I cause the soldiers to remember their wives, children and relatives in order that they turn back from the battle and flee away.
Third: Never sit with a non mahram [strange] woman in one place for I shall whisper temptations into both of you.”
Reference:
This appears in an Israely (Historical) narration recorded by Imam Abu Bakr Ibn Abid Dunya with a weak chain.
