وَجَاءُوا عَلَى قَمِيصِه ِِ بِدَم ٍ كَذِب ٍ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرا ً فَصَبْر ٌ جَمِيل ٌ وَاللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ
Wa Jā'ū `Alá Qamīşihi Bidamin Kadhibin Qāla Bal Sawwalat Lakum 'Anfusukum 'Amrāan Faşabrun Jamīlun Wa Allāhu Al-Musta`ānu `Alá Mā Taşifūna
And they came with his shirt stained in false blood. He said: "You have invented this tale yourselves. So sweet patience, and God is sought for help against what you describe."
12:83
قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرا ً فَصَبْر ٌ جَمِيلٌ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنِي بِهِمْ جَمِيعا ً إِنَّه ُُ هُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ

He said: "No, for it is your own souls that have conspired you to this. So patience is most fitting, perhaps God will bring them all to me. He is the Knowledgeable, the Wise."
20:96
قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا بِه ِِ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَة ً مِنْ أَثَرِ الرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذَلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِي نَفْسِي
Qāla Başurtu Bimā Lam Yabşurū Bihi FaqabaĐtu QabĐatan Min 'Athari Ar-Rasūli Fanabadhtuhā Wa Kadhalika Sawwalat Lī Nafsī
He said: "I noticed what they did not notice, so I took a handful from where the messenger was standing, and I cast it in. This is what my soul inspired me to do."
47:25
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ارْتَدُّوا عَلَى أَدْبَارِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْهُدَى الشَّيْطَانُ سَوَّلَ لَهُمْ وَأَمْلَى لَهُمْ
'Inna Al-Ladhīna Artaddū `Alá 'Adbārihim Min Ba`di Mā Tabayyana Lahumu Al-Hudá Ash-Shayţānu Sawwala Lahum Wa 'Amlá Lahum
Surely, those who returned back, after the guidance has been made clear to them, the devil has enticed them and has led them on.
