In Attar's Elahi Nameh, the 'Tale of the Child of Iblis with Adam and Eve' provides a Sufi allegorical explanation for the origin of satanic temptation (waswas). In the story, Adam repeatedly kills and destroys Iblis's child, Khannas, but Iblis revives him each time. Finally, Adam and Eve cook and eat the child to get rid of him, which fulfills Iblis's ultimate plan: placing his offspring directly inside the human breast. This narrative explains how temptation became internalized within the human heart, highlighting that spiritual struggle is an internal battle against the ego and inner whispers rather than just an external threat.
