وَقُل
لِّعِبَادِي
يَقُولُوا
الَّتِي
هِيَ
أَحْسَنُ
إِنَّ
الشَّيْطَانَ
يَنزَغُ
بَيْنَهُمْ
إِنَّ
الشَّيْطَانَ
كَانَ
لِلْإِنسَانِ
عَدُوًّا
مُّبِينًا

Say to My servants that they should (only) say those things that are best: for Satan doth sow dissensions among them: For Satan is to man an avowed enemy.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Tell My servants to speak in a manner which is the best. Indeed Satan incites ill feeling between them, and Satan is indeed man’s manifest enemy.
