The answer

These are whisperings instilled by Satan to corrupt the heart and divert it from what benefits. Seek refuge in Allah from them, for they will not harm you as long as your heart is expansive with faith. Strive against yourself to abandon them and turn away from them, for your dislike of them is proof of the soundness of your faith. As for the , "The sodomite will be transformed into a pig in his grave," its attribution to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is not authentic. It was narrated by Abu al-Fath al-Azdi and Ibn al-Jawzi with a weak chain of transmission.
