We shall attach to him who goes blind to the remembrance of Ar-Rahman a devil as companion, -- 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 It will be said [to such a person], "You have done wrong. Having partners in punishment will be of no avail to you today." 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 revenge them either after your death 41 or show them to you suffering the torment with which We had threatened them. We are certainly dominant over them all. 42 So, hold fast to the Book that has been revealed to you, you are surely on the right path, 43 And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye will be questioned. 44 Inquire of apostles We had sent before you if We appointed gods to be worshipped other than Ar-Rahman. 45
