Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 8 Al-Anfal, Ayat 48-48

وَاِذۡ زَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡ وَقَالَ لَا غَالِبَ لَـكُمُ الۡيَوۡمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَاِنِّىۡ جَارٌ لَّـكُمۡ​ۚ فَلَمَّا تَرَآءَتِ الۡفِئَتٰنِ نَكَصَ عَلٰى عَقِبَيۡهِ وَقَالَ اِنِّىۡ بَرِىۡٓءٌ مِّنۡكُمۡ اِنِّىۡۤ اَرٰى مَا لَا تَرَوۡنَ اِنِّىۡۤ اَخَافُ اللّٰهَ​ؕ وَاللّٰهُ شَدِيۡدُ الۡعِقَابِ‏ ﴿8:48﴾

(8:48) And recall when Satan made their works seem fair to them and said: 'None shall overcome you today. and I am your supporter.' But when the two armies faced each other, he turned on his heels, and said: 'Surely I am quit of you for I behold that which you do not. Indeed I fear Allah, and Allah is stern in punishment.'
