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

زَيَّنَ
لَهُمُ
ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ
أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ
وَقَالَ

غَالِبَ
لَكُمُ
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ
مِنَ
ٱلنَّاسِ
وَإِنِّي
جَارٞ
لَّكُمۡۖ
فَلَمَّا
تَرَآءَتِ
ٱلۡفِئَتَانِ
نَكَصَ
عَلَىٰ
عَقِبَيۡهِ
وَقَالَ
إِنِّي
بَرِيٓءٞ
مِّنكُمۡ
إِنِّيٓ
أَرَىٰ
مَا

إِنِّيٓ
أَخَافُ
ٱللَّهَۚ
وَٱللَّهُ
شَدِيدُ
ٱلۡعِقَابِ

And (remember) when Shaitân (Satan) made their (evil) deeds seem fair to them and said, "No one of mankind can overcome you this Day (of the battle of Badr) and verily, I am your neighbour (for each and every help)." But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he ran away and said "Verily, I have nothing to do with you. Verily! I see what you see not. Verily! I fear Allâh for Allâh is Severe in punishment."
