“And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon, who disbelieved, but the devils who disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. And the two angels do not teach anyone anything unless they say, "We are merely a test. Therefore do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But, they do not harm anyone through it, except by permission of Allah. And they learn what will harm them and not benefit them. And, certainly, they knew whoever traded in [magic] will have no share in the Hereafter. And, surely, most evil is that for which they have sold themselves, if only they had known.
- Commentary of the Holy Qur’an, Surah al-Baqarah (Chapter: The Cow), 2:102.
