Not being Incited by Evil Influences

Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:

One of the impediments on the path (of reaching Allah Ta‘ala) is the whispers of Shaytaan. These whispers come in different forms. The best remedy is to completely turn away from them and not to be incited by them. The hadeeth teaches us to ignore Shaytaan. Similarly, the perfection of man is in having complete control of his emotions, and maintaining complete composure of himself. He should not act impulsively or become worked up by situations and the insults of people.
