1172. Jābir narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not enter upon Al-Mughībāt (the women whose husbands are absent), for indeed the Shaitān flows through one of you as the blood flows." We said: "And you?" He said: "And me, but Allāh helped me over him, so I am safe."[1] (Hasan)
(Abū 'Eisā said:) This Hadīth is Gharīb from this route. Some of them have criticized Mujālid bin Sa'eed due to his memory. I heard 'Alī bin Khashram saying: "Explaining the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: 'but Allāh helped me over him, so I am safe' Sufyān bin 'Uyainah said: It means 'So I am safe from him.' Sufyān said: 'The Shaitān does not submit.'"
And as for: 'do not enter upon Al-Mughībāt,' Al-Mughibah is the woman whose husband is absent, and Al-Mughībāt is plural of Al-Mughibah.

Commentary
In this narration Satan means his influence on human nature, compelling the human being to act according to his desires. Allāh ﷻ has helped the Prophet ﷺ to get control over Satan. Satan cannot harm the Prophet ﷺ.
