Is the information correct that Satan suffers from a severe headache when the Qur'an is carried, and collapses and faints when it is opened, and his fainting spell prolongs when it is recited?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We have not found this statement in the شرعية (Sharia) references. Satan retreats, flees, and moves away from the servant when he recites the Quran or remembers Allah, as in His Almighty saying: "Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind... from the evil of the retreating whisperer (Al-Khannas)." And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not turn your homes into graves, for Satan flees from the house in which Surat Al-Baqarah is recited." And he, peace and blessings be upon him, said about Yahya (John), peace be upon him: "He cannot protect himself from Satan except by remembering Allah."
