   Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

   They descend upon every sinful liar.

3. يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ

   They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

   26:223

4. وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ

   And the poets - (only) the deviators follow them;

   26:224

5. أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ

   Do you not see that in every valley they roam

   26:225

6. وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ

   And that they say what they do not do? -

7. إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانْتَصَرُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ

   Except those (poets) who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend (the Muslims) after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what (kind of) return they will be returned.

   26:227
