Verse120

(120) يَعِدُهُمْ وَيُمَنِّيهِمْ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلاَّ غُرُورًا

120. " He promises them and fills them with (vain) desires, and Satan does not promise them except delusion. "
Commentary:
When the verse of forgiveness of sins was revealed from the origin of Allah (Sura Al-i-'Imran, No. 3, vers 135), 'Iblis gathered his supporters by a cry and told them that all their efforts would result no vail when a person repents.

Each of them said something about it, and one of the Satans said: "Whenever a person decides to repent, I will entangle him with vain desires and promises, so that he delays his repentance. Then, 'Iblis was contented.(1)
" He promises them and fills them with (vain) desires, and Satan does not promise them except delusion."
