The Holy Quran 28:63 — Surah Al-Qasas

Arabic text

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَوْلُ رَبَّنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَغْوَيْنَآ أَغْوَيْنَـٰهُمْ كَمَا غَوَيْنَا ۖ تَبَرَّأْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ۖ مَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِيَّانَا يَعْبُدُونَ

Translation

Those against whom the decision (of punishment) shall be passed (the Shayaateen and Kuffaar leaders), will say (admit), "O our Rabb! These are the ones whom we had misled (seduced). We misled (seduced) them (without force) just as we were misled (without force). We make it clear before You that we are absolved (free) of them (they obeyed us out of their own free will). They never (really) worshipped (followed) us (but it was their own desires that they followed)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

قال الذين حقَّ عليهم العذاب، وهم دعاة الكفر: ربنا هؤلاء الذين أضللنا، أضللناهم كما ضللنا، تبرأنا إليك مِن ولايتهم ونصرتهم، ما كانوا إيانا يعبدون، وإنما كانوا يعبدون الشياطين.
