The Modus Operandi of Satan:
The modus operandi of Satan is that he entices a person with various alluring promises and traps him in his web of deception. Then, when the person becomes ensnared in the satanic net and turns into his tool and agent, Satan begins to look for a new victim and becomes unconcerned and indifferent towards the previous one. Another interpretation is that on the Day of Judgment, Satan will deliver a similar speech before his followers, trying to clearly absolve himself of responsibility. Its practical example was manifested in the Battle of Badr, when Satan appeared in the form of Suraqah bin Malik, the chief of Banu Kinana, and began inciting the disbelievers and assuring them of victory. But when he saw the angels descending to help the Muslims on that battlefield, he quietly slipped away from there. The details of this have already been mentioned under verse 48 of Surah Al-Anfal.
Satan’s Arrival and Escape in the Battle of Badr:
In this verse, it is stated that the hypocrites also played the same trick with the Jews of Banu Nadir as Satan did. They kept giving them false promises and false assurances of help. Then, when Banu Nadir, provoked by the promises and incitement of the hypocrites, rebelled and were besieged, the hypocrites, with great satisfaction, brushed off their promises and stood by watching the spectacle.
