   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!

And if any of you Turn back from their faith And die in unbelief, Their works will bear no fruit In this life And in the Hereafter; They will be Companions of the Fire And will abide therein.

   O Apostle! let not Those grieve thee, who race Each other into Unbelief: (Whether it be) among those Who say "We believe" With their lips but Whose hearts have no faith; Or it be among the Jews,— Men who will listen To any lie,—will listen Even to others who have Never so much as come To thee. They change the words From their (right) times And places; they say, "If ye are given this, Take it, but if not, Beware!"

For them There is disgrace In this world, and In the Hereafter A heavy punishment.
