26:210 This [Qur’an] is not sent down by the devils[1],

26:211 it is not for them to do this, nor is it within their capability,

26:212 for they are strictly barred from overhearing it[1].

26:213 So do not call upon any other god besides Allah, lest you become of those who will be punished.

26:214 And warn [starting with] the nearest kinsfolk,

26:215 and lower your wing [in kindness] to the believers who follow you.

26:216 But if they disobey you, say, “I disown what you do.”

26:217 And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,

26:218 Who sees you when you stand up [for prayer],

26:219 and your movements among those who prostrate.

26:220 Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

26:221 Shall I inform you upon who the devils descend?

26:222 They descend upon every sinful liar,

26:223 who whisper hearsay in the ears, but most of them are liars.

26:224 As for poets, they are followed by the deviants.

26:225 Do you not see that they wander aimlessly in every valley[1],

26:226 and that they say what they do not do?

26:227 Except those who believe, do righteous deeds, remember Allah much and defend themselves[1] after being wronged. The wrongdoers will come to know what end awaits them.
