NOW, VERILY, it is We who have created man, and We know what his innermost self whispers within him: for We are closer to him than his neck-vein. 16 Behold! when the two receivers receive - one on the right hand and one on the left a sitter. 17 He utters not a word, but there is a vigilant watcher at hand. 18 And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid. 19 And the trumpet shall be blown; that is the day of the threatening. 20 Everyone has come, each attended by one who will drive him on, and another who will bear witness. 21 (It will be said to the sinners): "Indeed you were heedless of this, now We have removed your covering, and sharp is your sight this Day!" 22 And his Companion will say: "Here is (his Record) ready with me!" 23 (They will be told,) "Throw into hell every persistent disbelievers, 24 hinderer of good, transgressor, causing others to doubt, 25 who set up with God another god; therefore, you twain, cast him into the terrible chastisement.' 26 ۞ and his associate [Satan] will say, "Lord, I did not make him transgress, he had already gone far astray himself." 27 He shall say, 'Dispute not before Me! For I sent you beforehand -- the threat. 28 The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants." 29
