This was after We sent to him that by which the eye of proof is made bright in the (realm of) possibility and God's demonstration was perfected for all in the heavens and the earths. [note 3] We commanded him to come (to God) as a Grace from the Exalted Self-Sufficient One. "Indeed, he has turned back, fleeing--" [note 4] until the angels of divine torment overtook him through a justice from God. We are witnesses.
