    O Dâwûd (David)! Verily! We have placed you as a successor on the earth; so judge you between men in truth (and justice) and follow not your desire - for it will mislead you from the Path of Allâh.

    Qaaloo bal antum laa marhabam bikum; antum qaddamtumoohu lanaa fabi'sal qaraar

    (The followers of the misleaders will say): "Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you! It is you (misleaders) who brought this upon us (because you misled us in the world), so evil is this place to stay in!"

61. 61

    قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَٰذَا فَزِدْهُ عَذَابًۭا ضِعْفًۭا فِى ٱلنَّارِ

    Attakhaznaahum sikh riyyan am zaaghat 'anhumul absaar

    Did we take them as an object of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them?"

    (V.38:75) See F.N. of (V.3:73).

76. 76

    قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْهُ ۖ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍۢ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍۢ

    La amla'annna Jahannama minka wa mimman tabi'aka minhum ajma'een

    That I will fill Hell with you [Iblîs (Satan)] and those of them (mankind) that follow you, together."
