فَعَرَضَ لَهُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ شَيْطَانٌ مِنْ شَيَاطِينِ الْإِنْسِ،
A devil from among the devils of humankind appeared to him on his way.
شَيَاطِينِ — devils. A broken (internally-reshaped) plural 'devils', governed into the genitive by the preceding 'from among'. It heads an 'of' pairing with the next word, so it is also the first term of 'the devils of humankind'. Arabic pluralizes this noun by changing its inner shape rather than adding an ending.
