Translation (Tahereh Saffarzadeh): And they, [the Jews] followed what the devils recited during Solaiman's kingdom. [To effect magic for their evil purposes] not that Solaiman. disbelieved, but [it was] the devils that disbelieved, teaching men magic, and what was revealed to the two Angels, Harut and Marut at Babil. But neither of them taught anyone magic without saying: "We are only for trial; so do not disbelive [in Allah by learning this magic from us]" but people learned from them that which caused separation between man and his wife. Though they could not thus harm any one except by Allah's Leave. And they learned what harmed them, rather than what profited them [despite the Angels' remarked] and they certainly knew that the buyers of magic would have no share in the happiness of the Hereafter; and evil was the price for which they sold their souls, if they had but knew.

Translation (M.H. Shakir): And they followed what the Shaitans chanted of sorcery in the reign of Sulaiman, and Sulaiman was not an unbeliever, but the Shaitans disbelieved, they taught men sorcery and that was sent down to the two angels at Babel, Harut and Marut, yet these two taught no man until they had said, "Surely we are only a trial, therefore do not be a disbeliever." Even then men learned from these two, magic by which they might cause a separation between a man and his wife; and they cannot hurt with it any one except with Allah's permission, and they learned what harmed them and did not profit them, and certainly they know that he who bought it should have no share of good in the hereafter and evil was the price for which they sold their souls, had they but known this.
