Transliteration:( Qaala qareenuhoo Rabbanaa maaa atghaituhoo wa laakin kaana fee dalaalin ba'eed )
45. Qareen is the name of that devil that is born with the human being and remains with him until death. It is he who gives the human being evil counseling.
46. The devil would say that although I gave man advice towards evil, he himself went astray of his own free will. It should be remembered that it is Qareen, the devil, who advises the baser self (Nafs e Ammarah), while the adviser of the heart is an angel.
The tafsir of Surah Qaf verse 27 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Qaf ayat 23 which provides the complete commentary from verse 23 through 29.
34. Here by companion is meant the satan who was attached to the disobedient person in the world. And this also becomes evident from the style that both the person and his satan are disputing between themselves in the court of Allah. He says: My Lord, this wretched one pursued me in the world and did not leave me until he succeeded in misleading me, therefore he alone should be punished. And the satan replies: Lord, I had no power over him. Had he not himself willed to become rebellious, I could not have seduced him forcibly. This wretched person himself fled from goodness and was fascinated by evil. That is why he did not like anything that the Prophets presented and went on yielding to every temptation and inducement presented by me.
