سُوْرَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ
Surah Muhammad (47) — Ayah 25
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱرْتَدُّوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَدْبَـٰرِهِم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَى ۙ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ سَوَّلَ لَهُمْ وَأَمْلَىٰ لَهُمْ ﴿25﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Verily, those who have turned back (have apostatised) as disbelievers after the guidance has been manifested to them - Shaitân (Satan) has beautified for them (their false hopes), and (Allâh) prolonged their term (age).

25. 1. By this are meant the hypocrites who, by avoiding jihad, openly displayed disbelief and apostasy.
25. 2. Its subject is also Satan, that is, مدلھم فی الامل ووعدھم طول العمر, meaning he involved them in long hopes and deceived them into thinking that they still have a long life ahead, so why risk their lives in battle; or the subject is Allah, that Allah gave them respite, meaning He did not seize them immediately.
