If a person is strong in his faith and observes the limits of Allah, he can defeat Shaytan. Allah's Messenger (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) said, 'The believer can seize the forelock of his Shaytan as one of you seizes the forelock of his camel whilst traveling.' [Musnad Ahmad] Imam Ibn Katheer explained, 'What is meant by seizing his forelock is defeating him and overwhelming him, as one does with a camel when it runs away, then you seize it and overpower it.' [al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah (1/73)] Moreover, Shaytan is afraid of and flees from the strong believers in Allah. For example, the Prophet (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) said about Umar Ibn Khattab (radhi allahu anhu), 'the Shaytan is certainly afraid of you, O Umar.' He also said, 'I can see the Shayateen among the jinn and mankind running away from Umar.' [Saheeh al-Bukharee] Allah's Messenger (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) said to Umar, 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, no Shaytan sees you walking along a path but he takes a different path.'
