What a terrible companion you have been". 38 On that Day it will not profit you in the least [to know] that, since you have sinned [together,] you are now to share your suffering [as well]. 39 Canst thou then make the deaf to hear, or give direction to the blind or to such as (wander) in manifest error? 40 We shall inflict retribution on them, whether We take you away from the world (before We do that), 41 Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability. 42 Therefore hold fast to what We have divinely revealed to you; indeed you are upon the Straight Path. (The Holy Prophets can never go astray). 43 Surely it is a Reminder to thee and to thy people; and assuredly you will be questioned. 44 Ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before you, "Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent One?" 45
