quran:7:175 –

And recite to them, ˹O Muhammad˺, the news of him to whom we gave ˹knowledge of˺ Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.

And recite, O Muhammad (s), to them, that is, the Jews, the tidings, the tale, of him to whom We gave Our signs, but he cast them off, emerging in his disbelief in the same way that a snake emerges from its ˹shed˺ skin, he rebelled in disbelief, this was Bal‘am b. Bā‘ūrā’, a scholar from among the Children of Israel, who had been given some knowledge ˹of the Scriptures˺, and who was asked ˹by them˺ to invoke God against Moses. And when he did, the invocation turned against him and his tongue fell out onto his chest, and Satan pursued him, catching up with him and so he became his comrade, and he became of the perverse.

القرآن:٧:١٧٥ –

وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِي آتَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ

{واتل} يا محمد {عليهم} أي اليهود {نبأ} خبر {الذي آتيناه آياتنا فانسلخ منها} خرج بكفره كما تخرج الحية من جلدها، وهو بلعم بن باعوراء من علماء بني إسرائيل، سُئل أن يدعو على موسى وأُهدي إليه شيء، فدعا فانقلب عليه اندلع لسانه على صدره {فأتبعه الشيطان} فأدركه فصار قرينه {فكان من الغاوين}.
