واتبعوا ما تتلو الشياطين على ملك سليمان وما كفر سليمان ولكن الشياطين كفروا يعلمون الناس السحر وما انزل على الملكين ببابل هاروت وماروت وما يعلمان من احد حتى يقولا انما نحن فتنة فلا تكفر فيتعلمون منهما ما يفرقون به بين المرء وزوجه وما هم بضارين به من احد الا باذن الله ويتعلمون ما يضرهم ولا ينفعهم ولقد علموا لمن اشتراه ما له في الاخرة من خلاق ولبئس ما شروا به انفسهم لو كانوا يعلمون

They followed what the evil ones Gave out (falsely) Against the power Of Solomon: the blasphemers Were, not Solomon, but The evil ones, teaching men Magic, and such things As came down at Babylon To the angels Hārūt and Mārūt. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: "We are only for trial; So do not blaspheme." They learned from them The means to sow discord Between man and wife. But they could not thus Harm anyone except By God's permission. And they learned what harmed them, Not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers Of (magic) would have No share in the happiness Of the Hereafter. And vile Was the price for which They did sell their souls, If they but knew!
