Transliteration:( Wa qaasamahumaaa innee lakumaa laminan naasiheen )
"And he swore to them both, 'Indeed, I am to you among the sincere advisors' [37]."
From this we learn that the very first display of pretentious piety was shown by Satan himself. Though he harbored deep enmity for Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him), he outwardly feigned sincere friendship and swore falsely to deceive. This teaches that hypocrisy in the name of sincerity is a satanic trait.
