Transliteration:( Wastafziz manis tata'ta minhum bisawtika wa ajlib 'alaihim bikhailika wa rajilika wa shaarik hum fil amwaali wal awlaadi wa 'idhum; wa maa ya'iduhumush Shaitaanu illaa ghurooraa )
"And incite whoever you can of them with your voice [141], and mobilize against them your cavalry and your infantry, and share with them in their wealth and their children [142], and make promises to them. But Satan does not promise them except deceit [143]."
From this, we learn that music, misleading speeches, and deceptive sermons are among the voices of the devil, as are those who act as his riders and foot soldiers.
Hazrat Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said that any voice or sound that arises without the will of Allah—whether it be in songs, music, false sermons, or incorrect commentaries of the Qur’an—is the voice of Shaytan.
The devil participates in a person's wealth and children when Bismillah is not recited:
Before eating food or
Before intimacy with one’s spouse,
Satan takes part in it if the name of Allah is not invoked.
Likewise, avoid naming your children with names like ‘Abdush Shams (slave of the sun)—as such names reflect influence from shirk and can be linked to devilish associations.
Satan misleads by making false promises, such as:
Giving polytheists false hope of salvation through shirk,
Giving miserly Muslims hope of becoming rich through miserliness,
And promising fame through extravagance.
The tafsir of Surah Al-Isra verse 64 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Isra ayat 63 which provides the complete commentary from verse 63 through 65.
(17:64) Tempt with your call all whom you wish.[76] Muster against them all your forces – your cavalry and your foot soldiers;[77] share with them riches and offspring,[78] and seduce them with rosy promises – and Satan’s promise is nothing but a deception[79] –
76. The literal meaning of the Arabic text is: You may sweep away those whom you find superficial and weak minded.
77. Here, Satan has been likened to that robber who assaults a habitation with cavalry and infantry and orders them to rob. The cavalry and the infantry 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 labor in it. On the other hand, he does 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.
