Is it true that Satan gets angry when the Qur'an is held, cries when it is opened, collapses when "Bismillah" is said, and faints when the Qur'an is recited?

The answer

The matters mentioned in the question are unseen, known only through revelation, and nothing has been reported about them in the Quran or the authentic . A Muslim desires to recite the Quran with its verses and authentic hadiths. Satan dislikes the recitation of the Quran, and it has been reported that uttering "Bismillah" (in the name of Allah) diminishes him until he becomes like a fly, whereas saying "Ta'asa al-Shaytan" (may Satan be miserable) aggrandizes him. And if a son of Adam prostrates when reciting a verse of prostration, Satan withdraws, weeping in despair.
