١٤۔٩ مقطع في سُورَةُ إبراهِيم

quran:14:22

And Satan will say when the matter has been concluded, "Indeed, Allah had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to your aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your association of me ˹with Allah˺ before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful punishment."  

And Satan, Iblīs, says, when the issue has been decided, and the people of Paradise are in Paradise and those of the Fire are in the Fire, and they ˹the people of the Fire˺ have gathered round him: ‘Truly God promised you a promise of truth, regarding resurrection and requital, fulfilling ˹it˺ to you; whereas I promised you, that this would not be, then failed you, for over you I had no warrant (min sultān: min is extra), ˹no˺ power or capacity, to compel you to follow me, except that I called you and you responded to me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves, for having responded to me. I cannot heed your ˹distress˺ call, ˹I cannot˺ bring aid to you, nor can you heed mine (read bi-musrikhiyya or bi-musrikhī). Lo! I disbelieved in your making me an associate of God formerly’, during life on earth. God, exalted be He, says: Truly for the evildoers, the disbelievers, there shall be a painful chastisement.
القرآن:١٤:٢٢

وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ وَوَعَدْتُكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُكُمْ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا أَنْ دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِي ۖ فَلَا تَلُومُونِي وَلُومُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ ۖ مَا أَنَا بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَمَا أَنْتُمْ بِمُصْرِخِيَّ ۖ إِنِّي كَفَرْتُ بِمَا أَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۗ إِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ  

{وقال الشيطان} إبليس {لما قضي الأمر} وأدخل أهل الجنة الجنة وأهل النار النار واجتمعوا عليه {إن الله وعدكم وعد الحق} بالبعث والجزاء فصدقكم {ووعدتكم} أنه غير كائن {فأخلفتكم وما كان لي عليكم من} زائدة {سلطان} قوة وقدرة أقهركم على متابعتي {إلا} لكن {أن دعوتكم فاستجبتم لي فلا تلوموني ولموا أنفسكم} على إجابتي {ما أنا بمصرخكم} بمغيثكم {وما أنتم بمصرخيَِّ} بفتح الياء وكسرها {إني كفرت بما أشركتمون} بإشراككم إياي مع الله {من قبل} من الدنيا قال تعالى {إن الظالمين} الكافرين {لهم عذاب أليم} مؤلم.
