So cast him ye twain into the torment severe. 26 ۞ His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error." 27 He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave you the threatening beforehand: 28 “With Me, the decree does not change, and nor do I oppress the bondmen.” 29
