A man should learn from his first valid marriage and work to infuriate Satan by ignoring his whispers, for Satan wants to make his life miserable. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen mentioned that Satan launches attacks on the heart, causing anxiety and psychological distress. The way to get rid of this is to turn to Allah with sincerity and devotion, seeking refuge in Him from the accursed Satan, and to disregard the whispers as if nothing happened, for Allah will remove them from him.
