Surah 26

Shall I inform you (O people!) upon whom the Shayâtîn (devils) descend?

They descend on every lying, sinful person.

Who gives ear (to the devils and they pour what they may have heard of the Unseen from the angels), and most of them are liars.

As for the poets, the erring ones follow them,

See you not that they speak about every subject (praising people - right or wrong) in their poetry?

And that they say what they do not do.

Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, and remember Allâh much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged [by replying back in poetry to the unjust poetry (which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims)]. And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.
