وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِيَ الْاَمْرُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ وَوَعَدْتُكُمْ فَاَخْلَفْتُكُمْۜ وَمَا كَانَ لِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ اِلَّٓا اَنْ دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ ل۪يۚ فَلَا تَلُومُون۪ي وَلُومُٓوا اَنْفُسَكُمْۜ مَٓا اَنَا۬ بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَمَٓا اَنْتُمْ بِمُصْرِخِيَّۜ اِنّ۪ي كَفَرْتُ بِمَٓا اَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِنْ قَبْلُۜ اِنَّ الظَّالِم۪ينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

And the satan will say when the matter is concluded: “God promised you the promise of truth; and I promised you, but I betrayed you. And I had not over you any authority except to call you — and you responded to me; so blame not me, but blame yourselves. I cannot aid you, and you cannot aid me. I deny your ascribing to me a partnership before; the wrongdoers: for them is a painful punishment.”
