سورة الحجر، الآية ٤٢
إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ ٤٢
inna ʿibādī laysa laka ʿalayhim sul'ṭānun illā mani ittabaʿaka mina l-ghāwīna
Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.
Verse 42 of Surah Al-Hijr (15:42), a Meccan surah, is in juz 14, on page 264 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 74 reciters.
80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
You have no power or sway over tempting My sincere servants, except for those who follow you who are led astray.
You will have no authority over My slaves, except the deviants who follow you.
"Certainly, you shall have no authority over My slaves, except those who follow you of the Ghâwûn (Mushrikûn and those who go astray, criminals, polytheists, and evil-doers).
Lo! as for My slaves, thou hast no power over any of them save such of the froward as follow thee,
"For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee."
Surely. as regards My servants, you have no authority, over them except those who follow you of the deviators.
Surely over My bondmen you will have no all-binding authority, except the ones who closely follow you of the misguided ones."
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُۥ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَٰنٌ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيلًا
Indeed, over My [believing] servants there is for you no authority. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs.
