Six Attacks by Shaytaan - Ten Defenses

The evil of Shaytaan is limited to six categories, he continues [to assault] mankind until he succeeds in one or more of them:

1) The evil of polytheism and disbelief;

2) Then innovations;

3) Next are the major sins;

4) Then the minor sins;

5) Subsequently, busying people with practicing Mubahaat [Actions that one is neither ordered to do or prohibited from performing specifically]

6) Next is busying them with practicing deeds which are good instead of deeds which are better.

The reasons that safeguard a servant from the Shaytaan are ten:

1) Seeking refuge with Allaah from him;

2) Reading al Mu'awathatain [ Surat an Naas and Surat al Falaq];

3) Reading Ayatul Kursi;

4) Reading Surat al Baqarah;

5) Reading the ending of Surat al Baqarah [last two verses];

6) The believer reading from the beginning of {Haa Meem.} until {to Him is the final return.} [Ghafir: 1-3];

7) Saying what translated means: 'There is no deity worthy of worship but Allaah, alone having no partners, to him belongs the dominion, to him belongs all praise, and He has the ability to do all things.' One hundred times;

8.) Practicing the remembrance of Allaah a lot;

9) Performing ablution along with prayers;

10) Refraining from supernumerary (extra) looking around, talking, eating and mixing with people.

Isn't there a hadith or something which says that shaytaan tries the minor things first with Muslims as he knows it will be harder to lead them astray by doing the major sins? Oh it does say mankind.

This is really annoying me - I know what it is but I just can't remember what!! In arabic I mean, obviously.

Edit: Laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shay'in Qadeer. (I think, after googling, sounds right.)

Most of those defences can be combined into a single "read the qur'an".

as for the attacks, where did you get that from? From the layout and content, I assume that it isn't from hadith?

(I see innovation in the attacks... I hope someone is not trying to add to religion there?)

i have also heard this before. can't say im 100% sure it is from hadith though. Heard it from scholars though so....

it is still our duty to varify the information we get though.

Is this related?

Narrated by `Uqba bin 'Amir: One day the Prophet saw went out and offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud and then went up the pulpit and said, "I will pave the way for you as your predecessor and will be a witness on you. By Allah! I see my Fount (Kauthar) just now and I have been given the keys of all the treasures of the earth (or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am not afraid that you will worship others along with Allah after my death, but I am afraid that you will fight with one another for the worldly things." [Bukhari v.2 no.428]
