Iblis Seizes the Hearts through Envy & Greed ~ Do we have either of them?
Deceit of Iblis:
It is narrated on the authority of Salim Ibn ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar from his father (may Allah be pleased with them) that when Noah (peace be upon him) entered the ark he took into it a pair of every sort as Allah commanded him.
He saw in the ark an old man whom he did not recognize. So he asked him:
“What brought you here?”
He said: “I came to seize the hearts of your friends/followers, so that their hearts would be with me and their bodies with you.”
So Noah (peace be upon him) said to him: “Go out from here, O Enemy of Allah, for you are accursed.”
Iblis said to him: “By means of five things I destroy mankind, and I shall tell you about three of them, but I shall not tell you about the other two.”
Allah (subḥānahu wa ta’āla) then revealed to Noah (peace be upon him): “You have no need of the three; let him tell you about the two?“
He replied: “They are the two which never play me false nor disobey me, and by them I destroy man: they are greed and envy.
Through envy I was cursed and
became stoned Satan; &
as for greed, the whole garden was permitted to Adam (peace be upon him), save only the tree, but I obtained my desire over him through greed.”

Let’s overcome the vices of envy & greed through remembrance of Allah subḥānahu wa ta’āla. Let’s not water & nourish the seeds planted by Iblis(the accursed) in our tender hearts which otherwise leads us towards our destruction.
