When the matter is all over, Satan will say, ‘Indeed Allah made you a promise that was true and I [too] made you a promise, but I failed you. I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you responded to me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot respond to your distress calls, neither can you respond to my distress calls. Indeed I disavow your taking me for [Allah’s] partner aforetime. There is indeed a painful punishment for the wrongdoers.’
چون كار به پايان آيد، شيطان گويد: خدا به شما وعده داد و وعده او درست بود و من نيز به شما وعده دادم ولى وعده خود خلاف كردم. و برايتان هيچ دليل و برهانى نياوردم جز آنكه دعوتتان كردم شما نيز دعوت من اجابت كرديد؛ پس مرا ملامت مكنيد، خود را ملامت كنيد. نه من فريادرس شمايم، نه شما فريادرس من. از اينكه مرا پيش از اين شريك خدا كرده بوديد بيزارم. زيرا براى ستمكاران عذابى است دردآور.
