The Holy Quran 40:47 — Surah Ghafir

Arabic text

وَإِذْ يَتَحَآجُّونَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ فَيَقُولُ ٱلضُّعَفَـٰٓؤُا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيبًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ

Translation

(Do not forget the time) When they (the people of Jahannam) will argue with each other in the Fire. Then the weak ones will say to the haughty (proud) ones (their Kuffaar leaders), "Verily we were your followers (in the world), so (as our leaders) can you remove (take away) a portion of the Fire from us?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The state of Pharaoh’s people in the Fire: that is, in the world you kept making us obey and follow you, on account of which we have been seized today. Now be of some use to us here at least. After all, the great ought to look after the small a little. Do you not see what affliction we are in today? Can you not lighten some part of this affliction for us?
