Source (Persian)
وَ اَختِمُ القَولَ بقَولِه تعالی: "وَ مَنْ يَعْشُ عن ذِکْرِ الرَّحمَنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُ شَيطَاناً فَهُوَ لَهُ قَرينٌ." " وَ مَنْ اَعرَضَ عَنْ ذِکْرِی فإنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْکاً."
Shoghi Effendi Translation
We conclude Our argument with His words—exalted is He—“And whoso shall withdraw from the remembrance of the Merciful, We will chain a Satan unto him, and he shall be his fast companion.” “And whoso turneth away from My remembrance, truly his shall be a life of misery.”
