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 Harut and Marut. 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 Allah'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!

你说：“难道我们舍真主而祈祷那对于我们既无福又无祸的东西吗？在真主引导我们之后，我们背叛正道，犹如在迷惑的情状下被恶魔引诱到无人烟的地方的人一样吗？他有些朋友，叫他来遵循正道，说：“你到我们这里来吧！”（他不听从，以致毁灭。）你说：“真主的引导，才是正导。我们奉命归顺全世界的主。”

我告诉你们，恶魔们附在谁的身上，好吗？
