We created man -- We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vein -- 16 Since the two scribes are sitting on each of his shoulders, he does not utter a word which is not recorded immediately by the watchful scribes. 17 He utters not a word, but there is a vigilant watcher at hand. 18 And the stupor of death will come in truth: "This is what you have been avoiding!" 19 and [in the end] the trumpet [of resurrection] will be blown: that will be the Day of a warning fulfilled. 20 And every soul shall come, with it a driver and a witness. 21 'Thou wast heedless of this; therefore We have now removed from thee thy covering, and so thy sight today is piercing.' 22 And his companion (angel) will say: "Here is (this Record) ready with me!" 23 (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, 24 "Who forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and suspicions; 25 Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement. 26 ۞ And his comrade shall say, 'Our Lord, I made him not insolent, but he was in far error.' 27 He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning. 28 The Word will not be changed in My presence, nor am I an oppressor at all unto My bondmen. 29
