[2:102]
And follow that which the devils falsely related
against the kingdom
of Solomon. Solomon
disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankind magic and that
which was revealed to the two angels in Babel, Harut and Marut. Nor did they
(the two angels) teach it to anyone till they had said: We are only a
temptation, therefore disbelieve not (in the guidance of Allah). And from these
two (angles) people learn that by which they cause division between man and
wife; but they injure thereby no- one save by Allah’s leave. And they learn
that which harmeth them and profiteth them not. And surely they do know that he
who trafficketh therein will have no (happy) portion in the Hereafter; and
surely evil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but knew.
[2:103]
And if they had believed and kept from evil, a
recompense from Allah would be better, if they only knew.
[2:104]
O ye who believe, say not (unto the Prophet):
"Listen to us" but say "Look upon us," and be ye listeners.
For disbelievers is a painful doom.
[2:105]
Neither those who disbelieve among the people of
the Scripture nor the idolaters love that there should be sent down unto you
any good thing from your Lord. But Allah chooseth for His mercy whom He will,
and Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
