Ayah 48
Surah Al-Anfaal
And [remember] when Satan made their deeds pleasing to them and said, "No one can overcome you today from among the people, and indeed, I am your protector." But when the two armies sighted each other, he turned on his heels and said, "Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I see what you do not see; indeed I fear Allah. And Allah is severe in penalty."﴿48﴾

Simplified Tafsir
واذكروا حين حسَّن الشيطان للمشركين ما جاؤوا له وما همُّوا به، وقال لهم: لن يغلبكم أحد اليوم، فإني ناصركم، فلما تقابل الفريقان: المشركون ومعهم الشيطان، والمسلمون ومعهم الملائكة، رجع الشيطان مُدْبرًا، وقال للمشركين: إني بريء منكم، إني أرى ما لا ترون من الملائكة الذين جاؤوا مددًا للمسلمين، إني أخاف الله، فخذلهم وتبرأ منهم. والله شديد العقاب لمن عصاه ولم يتب توبة نصوحًا.
