S 6:68 And when you have seen those who wade into our verses, turn away from them until they wade into hadith other than it. And if the Devil causes you to forget, do not sit after the remembrance with the wrongdoing people.
S 12:42 And he said to the one he thought would be saved of them: Mention me to your lord. But the Devil made him forget his lord’s mention and remained in the prison a bid’ of years.
A bid' of years is a period between three and nine. This word occurs in the 'prophecy' concerning the Romans and Persians in S 30:4.
S 18:63 He said: Did you see when we retired to the rock? Then I forgot the whale. And nothing made me forget it but the Devil, to mention it. And it took its way into the sea wondrously.
This speaks of a dead whale meant for lunch that came into contact with the spring of life and was vivified and then escaped.
Compare with:
S 2:106 What we abrogate from a verse or cause it to be forgotten we bring better than it or the like of it. Have you not known that Allah is mighty over everything?
S 87:6-7 We shall make you read so you do not forget / Except what Allah has willed. He knows the publicity and what he hides.
