Quran 7:201 — Al-A'raaf, verse 201
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
those who are aware of God think of Him when Satan prompts them to do something and immediately they can see [straight];
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَائِفٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ تَذَكَّرُوا فَإِذَا هُمْ مُبْصِرُونَ
inna alladhīna ittaqaw idhā massahum ṭāifun mina l-shayṭāni tadhakkarū fa-idhā hum mub'ṣirūna
