13. On that day, the hypocrites among the men and the women will say to the believer, “ Take care of us.

Inside, there will be mercy. From outside, there is torment.
14. They will call them, “ Were we not with you? ” They will reply, “ Not so, it is you who put yourselves into grief. You expected (this for us). You doubted. Greed deceived you till the coming of Allah’s order. The deceiver (shaitan) also deceived you in Allah’s matter. ”
