And they say, "Why was this Qur'an not revealed on a great man from (either on the two towns?"

Is it they who distribute the mercy of your Lord? We have distributed among them their livelihood in the worldly life, and have raised some of them over others in ranks, so that some of them may put some others to work. And the mercy of your Lord is much better than what they accumulate.

And were it not that all people will become of a single creed (i.e. disbelief), We will have caused, for the benefit of those who disbelieve in Rahman, roofs of their houses to be made of silver, and the stairs as well, on which they will climb,

and doors of their homes, and the coaches on which they will recline,

and (will have made some of these things) of gold-ornaments. And all this is nothing but an enjoyment of the worldly life. And the Hereafter, with your Lord, is (destined) for the God-fearing.

And whoever makes himself blind against the advice of the Rahman, We assign for him a devil who accompanies him all the time.

And they (the devils) prevent such people from the (right) way, while they deem themselves to be on the right path,

until when such a person will come to us, he will say (to the devil), "Will that there were the distance of East and West between me and you, because you were the worst companion."

And (it will be said to such people,) 'Since you were wrongdoers, it will never benefit you today that you are sharing the punishment with each other.'

So, can you (0 prophet) make the deaf to hear, or can you show the way to the blind and the one who is in open error?
