And relate to them ˹O Prophet˺ the story of the one to whom We gave Our signs, but he abandoned them, so Satan took hold of him, and he became a deviant.1
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And recite to them, [O Muḥammad], the news of him1 to whom We gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.2

If We had willed, We would have elevated him with Our signs, but he clung to this life—following his evil desires. His example is that of a dog: if you chase it away, it pants, and if you leave it, it ˹still˺ pants. This is the example of the people who deny Our signs.1 So narrate ˹to them˺ stories ˹of the past˺, so perhaps they will reflect.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And if We had willed, We could have elevated him thereby,1 but he adhered [instead] to the earth2 and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs.3 So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.

What an evil example of those who denied Our signs! They ˹only˺ wronged their own souls.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.

Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the ˹true˺ losers.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray1 - it is those who are the losers.

Indeed, We have destined many jinn and humans for Hell. They have hearts they do not understand with, eyes they do not see with, and ears they do not hear with. They are like cattle. In fact, they are even less guided! Such ˹people˺ are ˹entirely˺ heedless.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray.1 It is they who are the heedless.
