It should be clearly understood that Satan does NOT have the power to interrupt when Allah Almighty is revealing His Message to any of the Prophets.
Apart from the Rushdie / Tabari partnership constructing the myth of Satanic verses by spewing falsehood, there are many other Christian and non-Muslim anti-Islamists thoroughly lacking in proper education who have grossly misinterpreted the Noble Quran by claiming that Satan can obstruct or interfere with the Divine Revelations. The particular verse which these ignorant people hamper with is:
"Never sent We a messenger or a prophet before thee but when He recited (the message) Satan proposed (opposition) in respect of that which he recited thereof. But Allah abolisheth that which Satan proposeth. Then Allah establisheth His revelations. Allah is Knower, Wise;" (22:52)
The above verse does NOT mean nor refer to Satan interfering or meddling with the Divine Revelations while they are being delivered to the Prophets.
When Allah reveals His Message to a Prophet, the Prophet is required to deliver that Message to his community and the community at large is required to spread that Divine Message to other communities.
The reference of Verse 22:52 is:
After receiving the Divine Revelations, whenever a Prophet would inform his people of that Message by reciting it, Satan would try to beguile humanity with temptations so that it would reject and erase Allah's Message altogether. But Satan's efforts have always failed. Whenever he tried to spread opposition in a community, Allah (The All Powerful) would abolish the concept of opposition proposed by Satan and establish the presence of His Divine Message for the people to follow. Then, it would be the choice of the people, whether or not they decide to follow that Message. Those with wisdom, knowledge and devotion to Allah would recognize it as the truth and accept it, while those who were morally weak with stunted consciences would become prey of Satanic temptations.
Hence, interference of Satan is NOT between Allah Almighty and the Prophet during the process of Divine Revelations. Satan does NOT have the power to do that. Rather, Satan attempts to destabilize the establishment of the Divine Message by sowing seeds of rebellion in the minds of the people when the Prophet delivers that Message to them.
This is confirmed by the two verses following verse 22:52.
"That He may make that which the devil proposeth a temptation for those in whose hearts is a disease, and those whose hearts are hardened - Lo! the evil-doers are in open schism -" (22:53)
"And that those who have been given knowledge may know that it is the truth from thy Lord, so that they may believe therein and their hearts may submit humbly unto Him. Lo! Allah verily is guiding those who believe unto a right path." (22:54)
Conclusion:
Only those persons who are blind to the remembrance of Allah are the ones who fall into the Devil's trap. But those who recognize the Truth and desire to submit to Allah are NOT affected by the opposition and deception of Satan.
