and Allāh exists after everything. The isnād of the marfūʿ is authentic, but the report of Jaʿfar, who is Ibn Burqān, is muʿḍal. What is between them is mawqūf, but I did not recognize this Najmah. It appears in the Musnad as "Najmah" with a mīm, and in "al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl" (4/1/509) as "Najbah" with a bāʾ muwaḥḥadah. It states: "He narrated from Abū Hurayrah, and Yazīd ibn al-Aṣamm narrated from him. I heard my father say that," and nothing more! Al-Ḥāfiẓ did not mention him in "al-Taʿjīl," even though it is according to his criteria! The fiqh of the ḥadīth: These authentic ḥadīths indicate that when Satan whispers to someone, saying: "Who created Allāh?" they should turn away from arguing and respond with what is mentioned in the ḥadīths. In summary, they should say: "I believe in Allāh and His messengers. Allāh is One, Allāh is the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent." Then, they should spit lightly to their left three times, seek refuge in Allāh from Satan, and cease following the whispering. I believe that whoever does this, sincerely obeying Allāh and His Messenger, will inevitably have the whispering removed from them, and their Satan will be repelled, as the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: "For that will remove it from him." This noble prophetic teaching is more beneficial and decisive in cutting off the whispering than intellectual debate on this matter, as debate rarely benefits in such cases. It is unfortunate that most people are heedless of this noble prophetic teaching. So, pay attention, O Muslims, and acquaint yourselves with the sunnah of your Prophet, and act upon it, for in it lies your healing and honor.
