According to ʿAbd Allah b. Masʿud (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Indeed Satan has an effect on the son of Adam, and the angel also has an effect. As for the effect of Satan, it is by threatening evil consequences and rejecting the truth. As for the effect of the angel, it is by his promise of good consequences and believing in the truth. Whoever finds this, he should know that it is from Allah, and he should praise Allah for it. Whoever finds the other, he should seek refuge with Allah from Satan (the outcast).”(T2988, al-Tirmidhi, Tafsir al-Qurʾan, 2)

And when he is on the point of doing something good but does not do it, then record it as an act of good, but if he does it, then record it as ten good acts.”(M334, Muslim, al-Iman, 203)
