﴿ وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّۭا شَيَٰطِينَ ٱلْإِنسِ وَٱلْجِنِّ يُوحِى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ زُخْرُفَ ٱلْقَوْلِ غُرُورًۭا ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ ۖ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ ﴾

(Thus) just as We have appointed Abu Jahl and those who sneer as your enemies, so (have We appointed unto every Prophet an adversary) a tyrant (devils of humankind and jinn) He says: We appointed human and jinn devils (who inspire in) dictate to (one another plausible discourse through guile) in order to deceive the son of Adam. (If thy Lord willed they would not do so) i.e. dictate plausible discourse and beguiling; (so leave them alone) leave, O Muhammad, those who sneer and their folk (with their devising) their embellishment of words and deception;
