And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade; 36 Satan will prevent them from the right path while they think that they have the right guidance. 37 At length, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says (to his evil companion): "Would that between me and thee were the distance of East and West!" Ah! evil is the companion (indeed)! 38 And since you were unjust, it will not profit you this day that you are sharers in the chastisement. 39 (Muhammad), can you make the deaf hear or guide the blind or the one who is clearly in error? 40 And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them. 41 Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability. 42 So, hold fast to the Book that has been revealed to you, you are surely on the right path, 43 And most surely it is a reminder for you and your people, and you shall soon be questioned. 44 And question thou our messengers whom We sent before thee; did We appoint any deities other than (Allah) Most Gracious, to be worshipped? 45
