For Allah the Exalted has said:

“Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so; so leave them alone with their devising;” (6:112)

"They inspire one another with decorative speech in order to deceive."

“Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so; so leave them alone with their devising;” (6:112)

Waraqah Ibn Nawfal said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:
1:07
"No one has ever come with what you have brought without being met with hostility."
1:13
Falsehood is vile; it neither desists nor ceases its aggression.
1:17
It can only be repelled by a force equal to that with which it attacks and roams.
1:22
It is not enough for the truth to be the truth for it to halt the aggression of falsehood.
1:27
Rather, there must be a force that protects it and defends it.
1:31
This is an immutable Sunnah and a universal principle that will not change as long as man remains man.
