26 Those who are virtuous shall receive the best reward
and an enhancement.
Neither dust nor abasement shall overcast their faces.

and they shall remain in it [forever].
27 For those who have committed misdeeds,
the requital of a misdeed shall be its like,
and they shall be overcast by abasement.
They shall have no one to protect [them] from Allah.
[They will be] as if their faces were covered
with dark patches of the night.
They shall be the inmates of the Fire,
and they shall remain in it [forever].

and their partners ¹ will say,
‘It was not us that you worshipped.
