t knew.
S: And they followed what the Shaitans chanted of sorcery in the reign
of Sulaiman, and Sulaiman was not an unbeliever, but the Shaitans
disbelieved, they taught men sorcery and that was sent down to the two
angels at Babel, Harut and Marut, yet these two taught no man until
they had said, "Surely we are only a trial, therefore do not be a
disbeliever." Even then men learned from these two, magic by which they
might cause a separation between a man and his wife; and they cannot
hurt with it any one except with Allah's permission, and they learned
what harmed them and did not profit them, and certainly they know that
he who bought it should have no share of good in the hereafter and evil
was the price for which they sold their souls, had they but known this.

Book, nor of the Pagans, that anything good should come down to you
from your Lord. But Allah will choose for His special Mercy whom He
will - for Allah is Lord of grace abounding.
P: Neither those who disbelieve among the people of the Scripture nor
the idolaters love that there should be sent down unto you any good
thing from your Lord. But Allah chooseth for His mercy whom He will,
and Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
S: Those who disbelieve from among the followers of the Book do not
