➋ {وَ كَانَ الشَّيْطٰنُ … : ’’ الشَّيْطٰنُ ‘‘ ’’شَطْنٌ‘‘} is derived from, which means both distance and wickedness. Every wicked person who is far from the truth is a shaytan, whether human or jinn, because shaytans are found among both. See Surah Al-An'am (112). {’’خَذُوْلًا ‘‘} means "one who abandons," and due to {’’ كَانَ ‘‘}, it has been translated as "one who always abandons," meaning that shaytan first tempts a person to do evil, and when the person commits the act and falls into trouble, he abandons him and separates himself. See Surah Ibrahim (21, 22). As for friends, on the Day of Resurrection, all friends except the righteous will become enemies of one another. See Surah Az-Zukhruf (67).

The Literal Meaning of "Khadhool":
Khadhool means not helping someone, rather abandoning them at the time of need. A "khadhool" friend is one who makes many verbal claims of friendship and professes loyalty, but abandons you in times of trouble—a treacherous friend. This word is perfectly applicable to Satan, because he always entices humans with alluring promises and beautiful visions, leading them astray. Then, when difficult times come, he abandons them both in this world and will do the same in the Hereafter. This is also the trait of Satan’s friends or people of satanic character.
