satan made their deeds seem attractive to them and said to them no one today is more powerful than you and i am your supporter. but when the two armies confronted one another and the pagans were defeated then satan betrayed his friends saying i am not with you any more i see what you do not see and i am afraid of god. god is severe in his retribution.
وإذ زين لهم الشيطان أعمالهم وقال لا غالب لكم اليوم من الناس وإني جار لكم فلما تراءت الفئتان نكص على عقبيه وقال إني بريء منكم إني أرى ما لا ترون إني أخاف الله والله شديد العقاب
