[ الإسراء: 64]

"And Istafziz [literally means: befool them gradually] those whom you can among them with your voice (i.e. songs, music, and any other call for Allah's disobedience), make assaults on them with your cavalry and your infantry, mutually share with them wealth and children (by tempting them to earn money by illegal ways usury, etc., or by committing illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), and make promises to them." But Satan promises them nothing but deceit.


English - Sahih International

And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusion.

Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(17:64) You may try to allure with your invitation whomsoever you can. *76 Rally against them your horsemen and your footmen: *77 set a partner with them in their wealth and children *78 and entice them with your false promises And Star's promises are nothing but deception *79 .

Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

*76) The literal meaning of the Arabic Text is, "You may sweep away those whom you fmd superficial and weak-minded. "
*77) Here, Satan has been likened to that robber who assaults a habitation with horsemen and footmen, and orders one to rob this thing add the other to plunder that thing and so on-The horsemen and the footmen of Satan are those jinns and human beings who are engaged in numerous forms and positions in carrying out his mission.
*78) This is a very meaningful sentence which depicts a true and perfect picture of the relationship between Satan and his followers. On the one hand, Satan becomes a partner with the one who follows him in the earning and spending of his money without putting in any labour in it; on the other, he dces not become a partner in bearing the consequences of his error, crime and sin. But his foolish dupe follows his instructions as if he were a partner, nay, a stronger party. Again in regard to the children of such a man, the father himself bears the whole burden of bringing them up, but under the misguidance of Satan he trains them in wrong and unmoral ways as if he alone was not their father but Satan as well was a partner in it.
*79) Satan entices them with false promises of success and entangles them in the snare of false expectations.
