These are words that must have been fabricated and falsely attributed to the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), for which there is no basis, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) knew that Allah, may He be exalted, has given the Shaytaan respite until the Day of the time appointed. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):\r\n\r\n\u201c(Iblees) said: \u2018Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).\u2019\r\n\r\n(Allah) said: \u2018You are of those allowed respite.\u2019\u201d\r\n\r\n[al-A \u2018raaf 7:14, 15]\r\n\r\n\u201c(Iblees (Satan)) said: \u2018O my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day they (the dead) will be resurrected.\u2019\r\n\r\nAllah said: \u2018Then, verily, you are of those reprieved,\r\n\r\n\u2018Till the Day of the time appointed.\u2019\u201d\r\n\r\n[al-Hijr 15:36-38]. \r\n\r\nWhat is meant by the Day of the time appointed is the day when all creatures will die at the first Trumpet blast, according to the most correct scholarly opinion. \r\n\r\nFor more information on that, please see the answer to question no. 10034 \r\n\r\nAllah has extended the life of Iblees until the time of the first Trumpet blast, so he will remain alive until that time and will not die before it. That is so that what Allah, may He be exalted, has decreed by His wisdom and knowledge may be completed, namely to test and try all people so that He might requite them on the Day of Resurrection for their deeds. \r\n\r\n\u2018Abdullah ibn Ahmad narrated in Zawaa\u2019id az-Zuhd (p. 266) that Salaam ibn Miskeen said: al-Hasan \u2013 i.e., al-Basri \u2013 was asked: O Abu Sa\u2018eed, does Iblees sleep? He said: If he slept, we would have a rest. \r\n\r\nThe hadeeth mentioned in the question is a false hadeeth for which there is no basis. \r\n\r\nPlease see the answers to questions no. 34725 and 135763 for more information on the seriousness of telling lies about the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and the prohibition on narrating false things from him, and the ruling on that in sharee\u2018ah. \r\n\r\nAnd Allah knows best.\r\n\r\nIslam Q&A","status":1,"created_at":"2014-10-26T20:51:56.000000Z","updated_at":"2014-10-26T20:51:56.000000Z","language_id":1,"fatawacate_id":32,"parent_id":7449,"author_id":"","books":[],"articles":[],"videos":[],"audios":[],"author_name":"","category_name":"\u0627\u0644\u0623\u062d\u0627\u062f\u064a\u062b \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0639\u064a\u0641\u0629","category_slug":"","get_date":"2014-10-26"},"translations":[],"fatawa_books":[],"fatawa_articles":[],"fatawa_videos":[],"fatawa_audios":[],"url":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/eng\/api\/fatawas\/7450"}
