Indeed, you two, cast him into the terrible punishment' 26 ۞ His companion will say: "O Lord, I did not lead him to wickedness, but he was himself far astray." 27 "Do not argue in My presence. I had announced the promise of doom in advance. 28 The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants." 29
