The Holy Quran 7:200 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Translation

Should Shaytaan provoke (incite) you (to do evil), then seek protection from (in) Allaah. Verily He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.
