To what extent is the hadith (prophetic tradition) about the story of Iblis (Satan) with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sound? This hadith describes a meeting between them, in which the Messenger asks Iblis about the people he hates most, the people of reward, his stance on the Companions, who his followers are, what nullifies his work, what melts his heart, what blackens his face, what frustrates his hopes, who his friends are, what his preferred places are, and other such details.
