وَطَمَعٌ فِيهِ الشَّيْطَانُ ،
And Satan coveted him.
الشَّيْطَانُ Satan
This proper noun carries 'al-' and is the doer of the coveting, so it takes the subject-style (nominative) ending. Arabic regularly places the subject after its verb, so here it surfaces at the end of the clause even though it is the one performing the action.
