When cast out by Allah (subhan wata'la), Satan swore bold oaths by Allah (subhan wata'la)'s. Honor that he would lead mankind astray so that they would all prove to be ungrateful and sinful.
Allah (subhan wata'la)'s Mercy overcame at this stage and He also swore an oath, saying that He would forgive everyone who would repent sincerely. Allah (subhan wata'la) is ready to forgive us, but we need to be sincere in our repentance.
Satan said, "I will lead them astray and attack them from all sides: I will attack them from the front, from the back, from the right, and from the left." This bold challenge frightened the angels for our sake and they expressed to Allah (subhan wata'la) their concern that Satan would make matters very difficult for human beings. Satan seemed to have left no option open for escape from him.
Allah (subhan wata'la) told His angels that there was no need to worry. He said, "Satan forgot two directions; the one above and the one below.
My creation may keep sinning and disobeying Me, but whenever they feel remorse and repent from their sins, between the time in which they raise their hands to ask for forgiveness and the time that they drop their hands thereafter, I will have forgiven their sins."
Allah (subhan wata'la) further said, "Shaitan also will not attack from below. Whenever my servant prostrates in shame before Me, I will have forgiven his sins before he raises his head from the ground."
