وَ بَرَزُوۡا لِلّٰہِ جَمِیۡعًا فَقَالَ الضُّعَفٰٓؤُا لِلَّذِیۡنَ اسۡتَکۡبَرُوۡۤا اِنَّا کُنَّا لَکُمۡ تَبَعًا فَہَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّغۡنُوۡنَ عَنَّا مِنۡ عَذَابِ اللّٰہِ مِنۡ شَیۡءٍ ؕ قَالُوۡا لَوۡ ہَدٰىنَا اللّٰہُ لَہَدَیۡنٰکُمۡ ؕ سَوَآءٌ عَلَیۡنَاۤ اَجَزِعۡنَاۤ اَمۡ صَبَرۡنَا مَا لَنَا مِنۡ مَّحِیۡصٍ ﴿٪۲۱﴾
And they will come out [for judgement] before Allah all together, and the weak will say to those who were arrogant, “Indeed, we were your followers, so can you avail us anything against the punishment of Allah ?” They will say, “If Allah had guided us, we would have guided you. It is all the same for us whether we show intolerance or are patient: there is for us no place of escape.”
وَ قَالَ الشَّیۡطٰنُ لَمَّا قُضِیَ الۡاَمۡرُ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ وَعَدَکُمۡ وَعۡدَ الۡحَقِّ وَ وَعَدۡتُّکُمۡ فَاَخۡلَفۡتُکُمۡ ؕ وَ مَا کَانَ لِیَ عَلَیۡکُمۡ مِّنۡ سُلۡطٰنٍ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ دَعَوۡتُکُمۡ فَاسۡتَجَبۡتُمۡ لِیۡ ۚ فَلَا تَلُوۡمُوۡنِیۡ وَ لُوۡمُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَکُمۡ ؕ مَاۤ اَنَا بِمُصۡرِخِکُمۡ وَ مَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ بِمُصۡرِخِیَّ ؕ اِنِّیۡ کَفَرۡتُ بِمَاۤ اَشۡرَکۡتُمُوۡنِ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ؕ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیۡنَ لَہُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِیۡمٌ ﴿۲۲﴾
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.”
وَ اُدۡخِلَ الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِیۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِہَا الۡاَنۡہٰرُ خٰلِدِیۡنَ فِیۡہَا بِاِذۡنِ رَبِّہِمۡ ؕ تَحِیَّتُہُمۡ فِیۡہَا سَلٰمٌ ﴿۲۳﴾
And those who believed and did righteous deeds will be admitted to gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein by permission of their Lord; and their greeting therein will be, “Peace!”

وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِيَ الَامْرُ
And Shaytan will say when the matter has been decided:
Disbelieving Chiefs and Their Followers will dispute in the Fire
Allah said,
وَبَرَزُواْ لِلّهِ جَمِيعًا
And they all shall appear before Allah;
meaning, all the creatures, the wicked and the righteous among them, will appear before Allah the One, the Irresistible. They will be gathered on a flat plain that does not have anything those present could use for cover,
فَقَالَ الضُّعَفَاء
then the weak will say,
the followers who used to obey their chiefs, leaders and notables will say,
لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُواْ
to those who were arrogant,
who rebelled against worshipping Allah alone without partners and obeying the Messengers,
إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا
Verily, we were following you,
we obeyed your orders and implemented them,
فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ اللّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ
can you avail us anything against Allah’s torment!
They will ask, `can you prevent any of Allah’s torment from striking us as you used to promise and vow to us!’
قَالُواْ
They will say:
the leaders will say in response,
لَوْ هَدَانَا اللّهُ لَهَدَيْنَاكُمْ
Had Allah guided us, we would have guided you.
but the statement of our Lord shall come to pass concerning us, and the destiny that He has appointed for us and you shall come true; the word of punishment shall befall the disbelievers,
سَوَاء عَلَيْنَأ أَجَزِعْنَا أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِن مَّحِيصٍ
It makes no difference to us (now) whether we rage, or bear (these torments) with patience; there is no place of refuge for us.
we have no means of escape from what we are in, whether we face it with patience or grief.’
I (Ibn Kathir) say that it appears that this conversation will occur in the Fire after they enter it, just as Allah said in other Ayat,
وَإِذْ يَتَحَأجُّونَ فِى النَّـارِ فَيَقُولُ الضُّعَفَاءُ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْـبَرُواْ إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعاً فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيباً مِّنَ النَّارِ
قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُواْ إِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيهَأ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ
And, when they will dispute in the Fire, the weak will say to those who were arrogant:”Verily, we followed you, can you then take from us some portion of the Fire!”
Those who were arrogant will say:”We are all (together) in this (Fire)! Verily, Allah has judged between (His) servants!” (40:47-48)
قَالَ ادْخُلُواْ فِى أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مِّن الْجِنِّ وَالاِنْسِ فِى النَّارِ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا حَتَّى إِذَا ادَّارَكُواْ فِيهَا جَمِيعًا قَالَتْ أُخْرَاهُمْ لاٍّولَـهُمْ رَبَّنَا هَـوُلاءِ أَضَلُّونَا فَـَاتِهِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ النَّارِ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَلَـكِن لاَّ تَعْلَمُونَ
وَقَالَتْ أُولَـهُمْ لاٌّخْرَاهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ فَذُوقُواْ الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ
(Allah) will say:
“Enter you in the company of nations who passed away before you, of men and Jinn, into the Fire.”
Every time a new nation enters, it curses its sister nation (that went before) until they will be gathered all together in the Fire. The last of them will say to the first of them:
“Our Lord! These misled us, so give them a double torment of the Fire.”
He will say:”For each one there is double (torment), but you know not.”
The first of them will say to the last of them:”You were not better than us, so taste the torment for what you used to earn.” (7:38-39)
and,
وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَأ إِنَّأ أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَاءَنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا السَّبِيلْ
رَبَّنَأ ءَاتِهِمْ ضِعْفَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَالْعَنْهُمْ لَعْناً كَبِيراً
Our Lord! Verily, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us from the (right) way.
Our Lord! Give them a double torment and curse them with a mighty curse! (33:67-68)
Disbelievers will also dispute on the Day of Gathering,
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَن نُّوْمِنَ بِهَـذَا الْقُرْءَانِ وَلَا بِالَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَوْ تَرَى إِذِ الظَّـلِمُونَ مَوْقُوفُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ يَرْجِعُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ الْقَوْلَ يَقُولُ الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُواْ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُواْ لَوْلَا أَنتُمْ لَكُنَّا مُوْمِنِينَ
قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُواْ أَنَحْنُ صَدَدنَـكُمْ عَنِ الْهُدَى بَعْدَ إِذْ جَأءَكُمْ بَلْ كُنتُمْ مُّجْرِمِينَ
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُواْ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُواْ بَلْ مَكْرُ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ إِذْ تَأْمُرُونَنَأ أَن نَّكْفُرَ بِاللَّهِ وَنَجْعَلَ لَهُ أَندَاداً وَأَسَرُّواْ النَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُاْ اْلَعَذَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا الاٌّغْلَـلَ فِى أَعْنَاقِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلاَّ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ
But if you could see when the wrongdoers will be made to stand before their Lord, how they will cast the (blaming) word one to another!
Those who were deemed weak will say to those who were arrogant:”Had it not been for you, we certainly have been believers!”
And those who were arrogant will say to those who were deemed weak:”Did we keep you back from guidance after it had come to you! Nay, but you were wrongdoers.”
Those who were deemed weak will say to those who were arrogant:”Nay, but it was your plotting by night and day:when you ordered us to disbelieve in Allah and set up rivals to Him!”
And We shall put iron collars round the necks of those who disbelieved. Are they requited aught except what they used to do! (34:31-33)
Shaytan disowns His Followers on the Day of Resurrection
Allah tells:
وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِيَ الَامْرُ
And Shaytan will say when the matter has been decided:
Allah narrates to us what Iblis will say to his followers after Allah finishes with the judgement between His servants, sending the believers to the gardens of Paradise and the disbelievers to the lows (of the Fire).
Iblis, may Allah curse him, will stand and address the latter, in order to add depression to their depression, sorrow to their sorrow and grief to their grief.
He will declare,
إِنَّ اللّهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ
`Verily, Allah promised you a promise of truth.
by the words of His Messengers that if you follow them, you will gain safety and deliverance. Truly, Allah’s promise was true and correct news, while I promised you then betrayed you.’
وَوَعَدتُّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُكُمْ
And I too promised you, but I betrayed you.
Allah said in another Ayah,
يَعِدُهُمْ وَيُمَنِّيهِمْ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمْ الشَّيْطَـنُ إِلاَّ غُرُوراً
He (Shaytan) makes promises to them, and arouses in them false desires; and Shaytan’s promises are nothing but deceptions. (4:120)
وَمَا كَانَ لِيَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَانٍ
I had no authority over you,
Shaytan will say, `I had no proof for what I called you to, nor evidence for what I promised you,
إِلاَّ أَن دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِي
except that I called you, and you responded to me.
even though the Messengers establish the proof and unequivocal evidences against you and affirmed the truth of what they were sent to you with. But you disobeyed the Messengers and ended up earning this fate,
فَلَ تَلُومُونِي
So blame me not, (today),
وَلُومُواْ أَنفُسَكُم
but blame yourselves,
because it is your fault for defying the proofs and following me in the falsehood that I called you to.’
Shaytan will say next,
مَّا أَنَاْ بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ
I cannot help you,
I cannot benefit, save, or deliver you from what you are suffering,
وَمَا أَنتُمْ بِمُصْرِخِيَّ
nor can you help me.
nor can you save me and deliver me from the torment and punishment I am suffering,
إِنِّي كَفَرْتُ بِمَأ أَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِن قَبْلُ
I deny your former act of associating me (Shaytan) as a partner with Allah.
or because you associated me with Allah before,’ according to Qatadah.
Ibn Jarir commented;
“I deny being a partner with Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored.”
This opinion is the most plausible, for Allah said in other Ayat,
وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدْعُو مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَن لاَّ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَـمَةِ وَهُمْ عَن دُعَأيِهِمْ غَـفِلُونَ
وَإِذَا حُشِرَ النَّاسُ كَانُواْ لَهُمْ أَعْدَاءً وَكَانُواْ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ كَـفِرِينَ
And who is more astray than one who calls on others besides Allah, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls to them!
And when mankind are gathered, they will become their enemies and will deny their worshipping. (46:5-6)
and,
كَلَّ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَـدَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدّاً
Nay, but they (the so-called gods) will deny their worship of them, and become opponents to them. (19:82)
Allah said next,
إِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Verily, there is a painful torment for the wrongdoers.”
إِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ
(Verily, the wrongdoers),
who deviate from truth and follow falsehood, will earn a painful torment.
It appears that this part of the Ayah narrates the speech that Shaytan will deliver to the people of the Fire after they enter it, as we stated.
Amir Ash-Sha`bi said,
“On the Day of Resurrection, two speakers will address the people. Allah the Exalted will say to `Isa, son of Maryam,
أَءَنتَ قُلتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِى وَأُمِّىَ إِلَـهَيْنِ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ
Did you say unto men:”Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah!” (5:116)
until,
قَالَ اللَّهُ هَـذَا يَوْمُ يَنفَعُ الصَّـدِقِينَ صِدْقُهُمْ
Allah will say:”This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth.” (5:119)
Shaytan, may Allah curse him, will stand and address the people,
وَمَا كَانَ لِيَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَانٍ إِلاَّ أَن دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِي
I had no authority over you except that I called you, and you responded to me.
Allah after mentioning the final destination of the miserable ones, who earned the disgrace and torment and having to listen to Shaytan address them, then He mentioned the final destination of the happy ones.
Allah says.
وَأُدْخِلَ الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الَانْهَارُ
And those who believed and did righteous deeds, will be made to enter Gardens under which rivers flow,
wherever they wish them to flow and wherever they may be,
خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا
to dwell therein for ever,
and will never transfer or be transferred from it,
بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَمٌ
with the permission of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be:”Salam (peace!).”
Allah said in other Ayat,
حَتَّى إِذَا جَأءُوهَا وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَبُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلَـمٌ عَلَيْكُـمْ
Till, when they reach it, and its gates will be opened and its keepers will say:”Salamun Alaykum (peace be upon you)!” (39:73)
وَالمَلَـيِكَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّن كُلِّ بَابٍسَلَـمٌ عَلَيْكُمُ
And angels shall enter unto them from every gate (saying):”Salamun Alaykum (peace be upon you)!” (13:23-24)
وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلَـماً
Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect. (25:75)
دَعْوَهُمْ فِيهَا سُبْحَـنَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَمٌ وَءَاخِرُ دَعْوَاهُمْ أَنِ الْحَمْدُ للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ
Their way of request therein will be Subhanaka Allahumma (glory to you, O Allah) and Salam (peace!) will be their greetings therein (Paradise)!
And the close of their request will be:Al-Hamdu Lillahi Rabbil-‘Alamin (all praise to Allah the Lord of that exists). (10:10).
