Perhaps what is meant is the mentioned by Al-Muttaqi Al-Hindi in Kanz Al-Ummal, narrated by Anas from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "The believer is between five hardships: a believer who envies him, a hypocrite who hates him, a disbeliever who fights him, a soul that contends with him, and a devil who misleads him." Al-Daylami narrated it with a different wording from Abu Hurairah: "The believer has four enemies: a believer who envies him, a hypocrite who hates him, a devil who misleads him, and a disbeliever who fights him." Al-Albani declared it very weak.
