Should one heed the intrusive thoughts that emerge during seeking forgiveness (istighfar), especially since they cause aversion and hatred?

We advise seeking refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaitan and continuing to seek forgiveness, for whoever wishes for his record to please him should increase his seeking of forgiveness therein. As for the voices, it is likely that their source is Shaitan, to deter from seeking forgiveness and remembering Allah, as Allah the Almighty said: "Satan only wants to cause animosity and hatred between you through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you desist?"
