20 Preface وَلَقَد صَدَّقَ عَلَيهِم إِبليسُ ظَنَّهُ فَاتَّبَعوهُ إِلّا فَريقًا مِنَ المُؤمِنينَYusuf AliAnd on them did Satan prove true his idea,1 and they followed him, all but a party that believed.Cf. 17:62, Satan out of arrogance had said, when he asked for respite from the Most High: “I will bring (Adam's) descendants under my sway, all but a few.” This was now proved true on the Saba people. He had no power to force them. It was their own will that went wrong and put them into his power.
