Allaah تعالى said in the Glorious
Qur’aan:
وَإِمَّا يَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ
الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
{And if an evil whisper comes
to you from Shaitaan then seek refuge with Allaah. Verily, He is All-Hearer,
All-Knower.}
📚 [Surah al-A`raaf (7):
200, and Surah al-Fussilat (41): 36]
🌴🌴🌴
👉 At any time, and in any
situation, {if a prompting from Shaitaan stirs
you up} that is, you feel angry or you feel Shaitaan’s whispering
and discouragement from doing good, or encouragement and prompting to do evil,
then seek Allaah’s protection, for He hears all things, and He is aware of all
that is taking place.
📚 [Tafseer al-Muyassar
(7):200]

👉 Al-Tabaree mentioned in
his Tafseer:
The root meaning of the word al-Nazgh (النزغ)
is al-Fasaad (corruption). It is when Shaitaan stirs animosity and the feeling
of hostility amongst the people, so that one group transgresses the rights of
the other.
📚 [Tafseer al-Tabaree
(Jaami` al-Bayaan) (7):200]

📑 Note:
Many people do not know the true meaning of the word
al-Nazgh which Allaah تعالى mentioned in the
Qur’aan. Here is a practical example to teach you the correct meaning, because
when you ponder over the meaning, you will take better precautions. It is like
putting a small scorpion and a locust in a bottle and shaking it violently. The
locust and the scorpion will bump into each other. The scorpion will feel that
the locust is attacking it, and the locust will feel that the scorpion wants to
sting it with its stinger, but in reality, it is the one who is shaking the
bottle that is stirring the problem between the two, while these creatures are
unaware.
This is the same example for us, as husband and wife, inside
the house, in the same room, there is someone who tries to stir problems
between the two while they are unaware, and that is the Shaitaan.
The meaning of al-Nazgh is Waswasah (whisper, evil
prompting). And for Allaah is the highest attribute, when He تعالى
says:
{And if an evil whisper comes
to you from Shaitaan then seek refuge with Allaah. Verily, He is All-Hearer,
All-Knower.}
