1937. Jābir narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Indeed Ash-Shaītān has despaired of getting those who perform Ṣalāt to worship him. But he is engaged in sowing hatred among them." (Sāhīh) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Anas, Sulaimān bin ‘Amr bin Al-Aḥwaṣ from his father. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan, and Abū Sufyān’s (a narrator in the chain) name is Ṭalḥah bin Nāfi’.
١٩٣٧ - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ أَيِسَ أَنْ يَعْبُدَهُ الْمُصَلُّونَ،» وَلَكِنْ فِي التَّحْرِيشِ بَيْنَهُمْ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ اسْمُهُ: طَلْحَةُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ.

The Arabic word Muṣallūn (literally, worshippers) used here means people of true faith and devotion. The version of Hadīth as reported in Sahih Muslim also contains the words Jazirat Al-Arab (Arabian Peninsula). The Prophet ﷺ means to say that the Shaitān has despaired of enticing the Companions back to any kind of idolatry and polytheism. He would, however, try his utmost to see the believers in a state of discord and fighting each other.
