واذ زين لهم الشيطان اعمالهم وقال لا غالب لكم اليوم من الناس واني جار لكم فلما تراءت الفئتان نكص على عقبيه وقال اني بريء منكم اني ارى ما لا ترون اني اخاف الله والله شديد العقاب

Remember Satan made Their (sinful) acts seem Alluring to them, and said: "No one among men Can overcome you this day, While I am near to you": But when the two forces Came in sight of each other, He turned on his heels, And said: "Lo! I am clear Of you; to! I see What ye see not; Lo! I fear God; for God Is strict in punishment.
