Quran 2:102

And they followed what the devils taught during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but it was the devils who disbelieved. They taught the people witchcraft and what was revealed in Babylon to the two angels Harut and Marut. They did not teach anybody until they had said, “We are a test, so do not lose faith.” But they learned from them the means to cause separation between man and his wife. But they cannot harm anyone except with Allah’s permission. And they learned what would harm them and not benefit them. Yet they knew that whoever deals in it will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable is what they sold their souls for, if they only knew.

And follow that which the devils falsely related against the kingdom of Solomon. Solomon disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankind magic and that which was revealed to the two angels in Babel, Harut and Marut. Nor did they (the two angels) teach it to anyone till they had said: We are only a temptation, therefore disbelieve not (in the guidance of Allah). And from these two (angles) people learn that by which they cause division between man and wife; but they injure thereby no-one save by Allah's leave. And they learn that which harmeth them and profiteth them not. And surely they do know that he who trafficketh therein will have no (happy) portion in the Hereafter; and surely evil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but knew.

tuttular Süleyman mülküne dair Şeytanların uydurup takib etdikleri şeylerin ardına düştüler, halbuki Süleyman küfretmedi ve lâkin o şeytanlar küfr ettiler, nasa sihir ta'lim ediyorlar ve Babilde Harut Marut iki melek üzerine indirilen şeyleri öğretiyorlardı, halbuki o ikisi «biz ancak bir imtihan için gönderildik sakın sihir yapmayı tecviz edib de kâfir olma» demedikce bir kimseye öğretmezlerdi, işte bunlardan kişi ile zevcesinin arasını ayıracak şeyler öğreniyorlardı, fakat Allahın izni olmadıkça bununla kimseye zarar verebilir değillerdi, kendilerine zarar verecek, menfaati olmıyacak bir şey öğreniyorlardı, kasem olsun onu her kim satın alsa her halde onun Ahırette bir nasibi yok, bunu muhakkak bilmişlerdi amma canlarını sattıkları o şey ne çirkin bir şeydi onu bilselerdi

Ils suivent ce que les démons avaient imaginé sur le pouvoir de Salomon ; mais ce n’est pas Salomon qui fut infidèle, ce sont les démons. Ils enseignent aux hommes la magie et la science qui était descendue d’en haut sur les deux anges de Babel, Harout et Marout. Ceux-ci n’instruisaient personne dans leur art sans dire : Nous sommes la tentation, prends garde de devenir infidèle. Les hommes apprenaient d’eux les moyens de semer la désunion entre l’homme et sa femme : mais les anges ne faisaient du mal à qui que ce soit sans la permission de Dieu ; cependant les hommes apprenaient ce qui leur était nuisible, et non pas ce qui pouvait leur être utile, et ils savaient que celui qui avait acheté cet art était déshérité de toute part dans la vie future. Vil prix que celui pour lequel ils se sont livrés eux-mêmes. Ah ! s’ils l’eussent su !

Zij volgden de plannen, die de duivelen tegen den koning Salomo hadden verzonnen; en Salomo was geen ongeloovige, maar de duivels waren het, en leerden de menschen tooverkunsten, die de beide engelen van Babel: Haroet en Maroet, waren medegedeeld. Maar zij leeren deze kunst niemand, tenzij hij zegge: "Wij zijn geneigd tot de verzoeking," wees daarom geen ongeloovige. Van hen leerde men ook wat oneenigheid tusschen man en vrouw sticht, maar zij doen niemand kwaad dan met Gods toestemming. Wat zij leeren brengt nadeel en heeft geen nut, en daarbij wisten zij, dat hij die deze kunst had gekocht, geen deel aan het leven hier namaals zou hebben. Voor een onzaligen prijs hebben zij hunne zielen verkocht. Hadden zij het geweten!

Seguono ciò che i demonj avevano imaginato sul potere di Salomone (), ma non fu infedele Salomone, bensì i demonj. Essi insegnano agli uomini la magia, e la scienza che era stata data ai due angeli di Babilonia Harout e Marout (). Questi non istruivano alcuno nella loro arte senza dire: Noi siamo la tentazione, guardati di divenire infedele. Gli uomini imparavano da loro i mezzi di seminarla discordia fra marito e moglie: ma gli angeli non attaccavano veruno senza il permesso di Dio; nonostante gli uomini imparavano ciò che era loro nocevole, e non ciò che poteva esser loro vantaggioso, e sapevano che quello che aveva comprato quest’arte era diseredato di qualunque parte nella vita futura. Quanto è vile il prezzo per cui hanno vendute le loro anime, se l’avessero saputo!
