Al-Anfal 8:48 واذ زين لهم الشيطان اعمالهم وقال لا غالب لكم اليوم من الناس واني جار لكم فلما تراءت الفيتان نكص على عقبيه وقال اني بريء منكم اني ارى ما لا ترون اني اخاف الله والله شديد العقاب ٤٨

لَهُمُ
ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ
أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ
وَقَالَ
لَا
غَالِبَ

وَإِنِّي
جَارٞ
لَّكُمۡۖ
فَلَمَّا
تَرَآءَتِ
ٱلۡفِئَتَانِ
نَكَصَ
عَلَىٰ
عَقِبَيۡهِ
وَقَالَ
إِنِّي
بَرِيٓءٞ
مِّنكُمۡ
إِنِّيٓ

مَا

تَرَوۡنَ
إِنِّيٓ
أَخَافُ
ٱللَّهَۚ
وَٱللَّهُ

ٱلۡعِقَابِ
٤٨
And ˹remember˺ when Satan made their ˹evil˺ deeds appealing to them, and said, “No one can overcome you today. I am surely by your side.” But when the two forces faced off, he cowered and said, “I have absolutely nothing to do with you. I certainly see what you do not see. I truly fear Allah, for Allah is severe in punishment.”
