[hl]
قَالَ قَرِينُهُ رَبَّنَا مَا أَطْغَيْتُهُ وَلَكِنْ كَانَ فِي ضَلالٍ بَعِيدٍ

His Companion will say: &quot;Our Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was (himself) far astray.&quot; (50: 27)[/hl]

(Our Lord! I did not push him to transgression,)[/hl]

[وَلَـكِن كَانَ فِى ضَلَـلٍ بَعِيدٍ]

(but he was himself in error far astray.)[/hl]

[blue]meaning, he himself was misguided, accepting falsehood and stubborn to the truth.[/blue][/quote]
