Sahih Muslim 2813a (Book 52, Hadith 59) #14158
Sowing the Seed of Dissension

SUMMARY: The most important figure in the eyes of Iblis is one who sows the seed of dissension.

Jabir reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying: The throne of Iblis is upon the ocean and he sends detachments (to different parts) in order to put people to trial and the most important figure in his eyes is one who is most notorious in sowing the seed of dissension.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ، عُثْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ عَرْشَ إِبْلِيسَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ فَيَبْعَثُ سَرَايَاهُ فَيَفْتِنُونَ النَّاسَ فَأَعْظَمُهُمْ عِنْدَهُ أَعْظَمُهُمْ فِتْنَةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how Iblis has a throne on the ocean and sends detachments to put people to trial. The most important figure in his eyes is someone who sows the seed of dissension or disagreement among people. This means that those who try to create arguments and disagreements between people are seen as very important by Iblis. It is important for us to remember that we should not be creating arguments and disagreements between others as this will lead us away from Allah's path. We should instead strive for unity and peace among all people so that we can live together harmoniously.
