And Satan said-after Allah decided the matter and reckoned His creation, and the people of Paradise entered the Paradise and the people of the Fire the Fire-: "Indeed Allah promised you a true promise of resurrection and recompense, and I promised you a false promise that there is no resurrection nor recompense, so I failed you my promise, and I had no power over you by which I could coerce you to follow me, nor was there any argument with me, but I called you to disbelief and misguidance so you followed me, so do not blame me and blame yourselves, for the sin is your sin, I am not your helper nor are you my helpers from the punishment of Allah; indeed I have disassociated from your making me a partner with Allah in His obedience in the world." Indeed the wrongdoers-in their turning away from the truth and their following the falsehood-have for them a painful, aching punishment.
