سُوْرَةُ الْحَشْرِ
Surah Al-Hashr (59) — Ayah 16
كَمَثَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ إِذْ قَالَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ ٱكْفُرْ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قَالَ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّنكَ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿16﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
(Their allies deceived them) like Shaitân (Satan), when he says to man: "Disbelieve in Allâh." But when (man) disbelieves in Allâh, Shaitân (Satan) says: "I am free of you, I fear Allâh, the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!"

1. 6. 1 This is another example of the Jews and hypocrites, stating that the hypocrites abandoned the Jews just as Satan deals with a human being: first, he misguides the human, and when the human, following Satan, commits disbelief, then Satan disassociates himself from him.
16. 2 Satan is not truthful in this statement of his; the only purpose is to distance and free himself from the disbelief that the human commits due to Satan's misguidance.
