Surah 8 Al-Anfal, Ayat 48-48
وَاِذۡ زَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡ وَقَالَ لَا غَالِبَ لَـكُمُ الۡيَوۡمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَاِنِّىۡ جَارٌ لَّـكُمۡۚ فَلَمَّا تَرَآءَتِ الۡفِئَتٰنِ نَكَصَ عَلٰى عَقِبَيۡهِ وَقَالَ اِنِّىۡ بَرِىۡٓءٌ مِّنۡكُمۡ اِنِّىۡۤ اَرٰى مَا لَا تَرَوۡنَ اِنِّىۡۤ اَخَافُ اللّٰهَؕ وَاللّٰهُ شَدِيۡدُ الۡعِقَابِ
﴿8:48﴾
(8:48) And recall when Satan made their works seem fair to them and said:
'None shall overcome you today. and I am your supporter.' But when the two armies
faced each other, he turned on his heels, and said: 'Surely I am quit of you
for I behold that which you do not. Indeed I fear Allah, and Allah is stern
in punishment.'
