يَدْعُو
مِن
دُونِ
اللَّهِ
مَا
لَا
يَضُرُّهُ
وَمَا
لَا
يَنفَعُهُ
ذَلِكَ
هُوَ
الضَّلَالُ
الْبَعِيدُ
yadʿū min dūni llāhi mā lā yaḍurruhū wa-mā lā yanfaʿuhū dhālika huwa ḍ-ḍalālu l-baʿīdu
He invokes besides Allah that which can bring him neither benefit nor harm. That is extreme error.
— Ali Quli Qarai
They call on such deities, besides Allah, as can neither hurt nor profit them: that is straying far indeed (from the Way)!
