Say thou: whosoever is an enemy unto Jibril, then verily he it is Who hath brought down this Revelation, by Allah's command, to thine heart, confirming that which went before, and a guidance and glad tidings unto the believers. 97 Whosoever is an enemy unto Allah and His angels and His apostles and Jibril and Mikail, then verily Allah is an enemy unto the infidels. 98 For, clear messages indeed have We bestowed upon thee from on high; and none denies their truth save the iniquitous. 99 Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But, [in fact], most of them do not believe. 100 And [even now,] when there has come unto them an apostle from God, confirming the truth already in their possession, some of those who were granted revelation aforetime cast the divine writ behind their backs as though unaware [of what it says,] 101 And they follow that which the satans recited in the reign of Sulaiman; and Sulaiman blasphemed not, but the satans blasphemed; teaching people magic; and they follow that also which was sent down unto the two angels in Babil, Harut and Marut. Unto none the twain taught it until they had said: we are but a temptation, so blaspheme not. But they learned from the twain that wherewith they might separate man from his wife; and they could harm none thereby save by Allah's will. And they have learnt that which harmeth them, and profiteth them not; and assuredly they know that whosoever purchaseth it, his is no portion in the Hereafter; and surely vile is the price for which they have bartered themselves, if they but knew! 102 Yet had they believed, and been godfearing, a recompense from God had been better, if they had but known. 103
