68 Preface وَإِذا رَأَيتَ الَّذينَ يَخوضونَ في آياتِنا فَأَعرِض عَنهُم حَتّىٰ يَخوضوا في حَديثٍ غَيرِهِ ۚ وَإِمّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيطانُ فَلا تَقعُد بَعدَ الذِّكرىٰ مَعَ القَومِ الظّالِمينَYusuf AliWhen thou seest men engaged in vain discourse about Our signs, turn away from them unless they turn to a different1 theme. If Satan ever makes thee forget, then after recollection, sit not thou in the company of those who do wrong.Cf. 4:140. If in any gathering truth is ridiculed, we must not sit in such company. If we find ourselves in it, as soon as we realise it, we must show our disapproval by leaving.
