Surah Qaf Tafseer

الَّذِي جَعَلَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا اخَرَ

who set up another god with Allah.

meaning, he associated others with Allah and worshipped others besides Him,

فَأَلْقِيَاهُ فِي الْعَذَابِ الشَّدِيدِ

Then both of you cast him in the severe torment.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri said that the Prophet said,

يَخْرُجُ عُنُقٌ مِنَ النَّارِ يَتَكَلَّمُ يَقُولُ وُكِّلْتُ الْيَوْمَ بِثَلَثَةٍ

بِكُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ

وَمَنْ جَعَلَ مَعَ اللهِ إِلهًا اخَرَ

وَمَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ

فَتَنْطَوِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَتَقْذِفُهُمْ فِي غَمَرَاتِ جَهَنَّم

A neck from the Fire will appear and will speak saying,

"Today, I have been entrusted with three:

Every obstinate tyrant,

everyone who ascribed another god with Allah, and

he who took a life without right."

The neck will then close in on them and throw them in the midst of Jahannam."

Man and Devil dispute before Allah

Allah's saying
