سُوْرَةُ الْمُجَادَلَةِ
Surah Al-Mujaadila (58) — Ayah 19
ٱسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ ذِكْرَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ حِزْبُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۚ أَلَآ إِنَّ حِزْبَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ﴿19﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Shaitân (Satan) has overpowered them. So he has made them forget the remembrance of Allâh. They are the party of Shaitân (Satan). Verily, it is the party of Shaitan (Satan) that will be the losers!

19. 1. The meaning of استحوذ is to surround, to encompass, to gather; it is also translated as "to gain dominance," as all these meanings are included in dominance.
19. 2. That is, Satan has made them heedless of the things Allah has commanded them to do, and he makes them commit the things He has forbidden, by making them appear attractive, by deceiving them, or by involving them in desires and wishes.
19. 3. That is, complete loss will be their share alone. As if others are not in loss compared to them. This is because they traded Paradise for misguidance, lied against Allah, and kept swearing false oaths in this world and the Hereafter.
