Hadith on Shaytan: Devil sows doubts by whispering false questions

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Satan will come to one of you and say: Who created the heavens? Then he says: Allah. Satan says: Who created the earth? Then he says: Allah. Satan says: Who created Allah? If one of you feels that, let him say: I have faith in Allah and His Messenger.

عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي أَحَدَكُمْ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ خَلَقَ الَأرْضَ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ خَلَقَ اللهَ فَإِذَا وجَدَ ذَلِكَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلْ آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ ورَسُولِهِ
