Al-A'raf 7:175

Word by word

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَٱنسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ

And recite to them, [O Muḥammad], the news of him to whom We gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.

واقصص -أيها الرسول- على أمتك خبر رجل من بني إسرائيل أعطيناه حججنا وأدلتنا، فتعلَّمها، ثم كفر بها، ونبذها وراء ظهره، فاستحوذ عليه الشيطان، فصار من الضالين الهالكين; بسبب مخالفته أمر ربه وطاعته الشيطان.
