To whom is the act of beautification ascribed to?

Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:

1. To Allah the Almighty.
2. Satan. [Reported from al-Ḥasan]

ʿAlī ibn ʿUbayd Allāh explained: Allah's beautification is by way of the natural order, i.e. He has created within human nature the love of what appears attractive to the self, which is part of His creation. In contrast, Satan's beautification occurs by reminding people of things that they may have forgotten, making them inclined toward those objects due to their allure. Thus, Allah beautifies through creation, while Satan beautifies through suggestion and temptation.
