Is this narration authentic: "A person woke up to pray Fajr in congregation at the mosque, and stumbled on his way twice, so he returned to change his garment. On the third occasion, he stumbled and Satan caught him so he would not fall, fearing that Allah would forgive the people of the neighborhood if he returned to change his garment, after having forgiven the person and his household on the two previous occasions"? And can Satan speak to a person and touch them?

The story mentioned has no basis in the books of Sunnah, Hadith, or history, and it explicitly contradicts Islamic law from several angles: 1. The devil conversing with a human in his true form is not possible, unless he takes on a human form. 2. The devil's claim that he supported the man when he stumbled is unbelievable, for it is the angels who protect humans from the harm of jinn, and the devil cannot prevent Allah's decree. 3. The assertion that Allah forgives a person's sins, or those of his family or neighborhood, due to falling and stumbling is a lie against Allah and a claim to knowledge of the unseen. There is nothing in stumbling that necessitates these great virtues.

These false stories are spread by those who do not understand their religion or know the Oneness of their Lord. They are lies against Allah the Almighty, for which He has promised the severest warnings. It is incumbent upon خطباء (preachers) and مدرسين (teachers) to purify themselves from narrating such superstitions that contradict Islamic law and reason. The predecessors of the Ummah warned against قصاص (storytellers) who focus on tales and superstitions at the expense of beneficial knowledge and jurisprudence, which leads to the ruin of nations and the corruption of the public with false beliefs and rejected narrations.
