قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُو الشَّيَاطِينُ عَلَى مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَلَكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ وَمَا أُنْـزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّى يَقُولا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلا تَكْفُرْ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنْهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِهِ وَمَا هُمْ بِضَارِّينَ بِهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلا بِإِذْنِ اللهِ}

His saying, the Exalted: "And they followed what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But they do not teach anyone unless they say, 'We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic].' And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah..."

Hadith 204

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا عَتَّابُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ: نَا خُصَيْفٌ، فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: { وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُو الشَّيَاطِينُ } قَالَ: كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ إِذَا نَبَتَتِ الشَّجَرَةُ قَالَ: لِأَيِّ دَاءٍ أَنْتِ ؟ فَتَقُولُ: لِكَذَا وَكَذَا، فَلَمَّا نَبَتَتْ شَجَرَةُ الْحُرْنُوبَةِ الشَّامِيُّ، قَالَ: لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتِ ؟ قَالَتْ: لِمَسْجِدِكَ أُخَرِّبُهُ، قَالَ: تُخَرِّبِينَهُ ؟ ! قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: بِئْسَ الشَّجَرَةُ أَنْتِ ! فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ تُوُفِّيَ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ فِي مَرْضَاهُمْ: لَوْ كَانَ لَنَا مِثْلُ سُلَيْمَانَ ! فَأَخَذُوا الشَّيَاطِينَ، فَأَخَذُوا كِتَابًا فَجَعَلُوهُ فِي مُصَلَّى سُلَيْمَانَ، فَقَالُوا: نَحْنُ نَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ يُدَاوِي بِهِ، فَانْطَلَقُوا فَاسْتَخْرَجُوا ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ سِحْرٌ وَرُقًى، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: (وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُو الشَّيَاطِينُ عَلَى مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَلَكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ)، وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهَا فِي قِرَاءَةِ أُبَيٍّ: (وَمَا يُتْلَى عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّى يَقُولَا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْ) - سَبْعَ مِرَارٍ -، فَإِنْ أَبَى إِلَّا أَنْ يَكْفُرَ عَلَّمَاهُ، فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ نَارٌ - أَوْ نُورٌ -، حَتَّى يَسْطَعَ فِي السَّمَاءِ، قَالَ: الْمَعْرِفَةُ الَّتِي كَانَ يَعْرِفُ .
Khasif (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: ﴿And they followed what the devils recited﴾: When a tree would grow, Prophet Sulaiman (peace be upon him) would ask it: For which illness are you? It would say: For such and such. When the Syrian carob tree grew, he asked: For what are you? It said: To ruin your mosque. He said: Will you ruin it? It said: Yes. He said: You are the worst tree! Then soon after, he passed away. People began to say in their illnesses: If only we had someone like Sulaiman! The devils took a book and placed it on the prayer mat of Sulaiman (peace be upon him) and said: We will tell you by what Sulaiman used to treat (illnesses). The people went and took out that book, and in it were magic and amulets. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed: ﴿And they followed what the devils recited during the reign of Sulaiman. Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut﴾, and it is mentioned that in the recitation of Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) it is: ﴿And what was recited to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut, and they do not teach anyone until they say, 'We are only a trial, so do not disbelieve'﴾, seven times. If he did not refrain from disbelief, they would teach him, then fire or light would come out from him which would shine in the sky. They said: This was the knowledge that they knew.
