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
وَإِذۡ
زَيَّنَ
لَهُمُ
ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ
أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ
وَقَالَ
لَا
غَالِبَ
لَكُمُ
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ
مِنَ
ٱلنَّاسِ
وَإِنِّي
جَارٞ
لَّكُمۡۖ
فَلَمَّا
تَرَآءَتِ
ٱلۡفِئَتَانِ
نَكَصَ
عَلَىٰ
عَقِبَيۡهِ
وَقَالَ
إِنِّي
بَرِيٓءٞ
مِّنكُمۡ
إِنِّيٓ
أَرَىٰ
مَا
لَا
تَرَوۡنَ
إِنِّيٓ
أَخَافُ
ٱللَّهَۚ
وَٱللَّهُ
شَدِيدُ
ٱلۡعِقَابِ
