Praising Allah for Reducing the Devil's Guile

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who came to the Prophet ﷺ and expressed his difficulty in speaking about his thoughts. The Prophet ﷺ responded by praising Allah for reducing the devil's guile to evil prompting.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man came to the Prophet and said: Messenger of Allah! one of us has thoughts of such nature that he would rather be reduced to charcoal than speak about them. He said: Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great. Praise be to Allah Who has reduced the guile of the devil to evil prompting. Ibn Qudamah said "reduced his matter" instead of "reduced his guile". Ibn Qudamah said "reduced his matter" instead of "reduced his guile".
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَابْنُ، قُدَامَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ ذَرٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا يَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِهِ - يُعَرِّضُ بِالشَّىْءِ - لأَنْ يَكُونَ حُمَمَةً أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَدَّ كَيْدَهُ إِلَى الْوَسْوَسَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ قُدَامَةَ ‏"‏ رَدَّ أَمْرَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ مَكَانَ ‏"‏ رَدَّ كَيْدَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man who came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and expressed his difficulty in speaking about his thoughts, which he felt were too embarrassing or shameful to share with anyone else. In response, the Prophet ﷺ praised Allah by saying "Alhamdulillah" three times, which translates as "all praise be to Allah". By doing this, he was thanking Allah for reducing the devil's guile or temptation into something that can only cause evil prompting or harm. This teaches us that we should always turn towards Allah when we are feeling overwhelmed by our thoughts and emotions, as He will help us overcome them and protect us from any harm they may cause.
