Al-A'raf 7:202

Word by word

وَإِخْوَٰنُهُمْ يَمُدُّونَهُمْ فِى ٱلْغَىِّ ثُمَّ لَا يُقْصِرُونَ

But their brothers - they [i.e., the devils] increase them in error; then they do not stop short.

وإخوان الشياطين، وهم الفجَّار من ضلال الإنس تمدهم الشياطين من الجن في الضلالة والغَواية، ولا تدَّخر شياطين الجن وُسْعًا في مدِّهم شياطين الإنس في الغيِّ، ولا تدَّخر شياطين الإنس وُسْعًا في عمل ما توحي به شياطين الجن.
