And another view says that if the devil has power to cast the servant into sin.
للشَّيْطَان — for the devil. The preposition 'li-' ('for / to') fused onto the definite noun 'the devil', so the word means 'for the devil'. In the 'had there been to the devil...' possession-frame, it marks Iblis as the would-be holder of the power.
